How Bad Is It...

To start the car, back out of the garage to clean the floor and pull it back in? I haven't driven her in 2 weeks cause of the snow and crap on the roads. My motorcycle mechanic always told me not to start my bike unless I was going to ride it a couple miles (in winter). Any thoughts?

Fire the car up, let it run for a little bit to get all the fluids rolling.

Back it up, clean the floor (keep the car running). Then put it back. No harm done.

I start up the formula every week and let her run for about 10-15 mins. Been doing that for 4 years now, and the car runs like a champ! Never any problems.

Best to warm the car up properly and drive it for 15 minutes or so. If you can't drive it, let it warm properly proprly first, and then hold the rpm's at 2k for 5 minutes.
This will also warm the exhaust enough to dry it out again, otherwise you'll have mucho water in there which will eventually rot the system.
After starting an engine, a battery needs some time too, to recharge.
