Only if you return it new spring with a 3gste swap

DO NOT start it every once in a while if youre temps are below freezing. You're going ot cause condenstaion build up.
Park it with stabilizer in the gas, use engine fogger before parking, remove the battery and don't start it until after winter.

I personally store mine on a set of crappy tires that arent driveable. Apparently over inflating your tires helps keep them from flat spots.
Use bounce sheets in the bay inside the car and around the car to keep animals away and throw steel wool/rag/sometihng to plug the exhaust so animals don't crawl in and make a nest.

I usually change the oil before sotage with some crappy cheap oil, and then change it again in spring (not neccesary, but thats what I do)
I store mine outside, and prefer to not use a cover, as Im affraid the wind will blow and scratch the car, so I just let the snow sit on the car all winter. Occasionaly brushing some off, but not all. Been doing this for three or four years now with no issues.

I also put my old rims with tires on it. Thanks for the tips, good to know.

I wouldn't start it either.

After long periods of not starting the engine has no oil pressure the first few moments.
Instead I change my oil BEFORE starting the car when I take it out. Then I disconnect the igniter plug, crank it over for a few seconds to let the pressure rise, reconnect the plug then I start the car.
It starts like a charm when I do this, no tickling sound and the oil pressure light doesn't stay on.

I'll keep that in mind when I start it next spring
