Starting up the car and not driving it is probably one of the worst things for your car. You aren't able to get the car up to proper operating temperatures, and extensive idling of the car when cold puts undue wear on the mechanical components. Here's some info from my site:

everything seems ok on that site except for the a couple of tea spoons of oil in the cylinders is wrong put 1 tea spoon max because you could get hydro lock if you over do it....I've used fogging oil down the cylinders on my small 2 stroke race engines....

Thanks for the info. I'll change it. I never put any oil in my cylinders when I store it anyways.
