A garage should be mandatory. Remote controllerld car starters help so you can get your car running for 10 mins and it'll be nice and warm when you get in and nobody can steal your car (works with ac in the summer too) Cold enough and you need a block heater to plug your car into so your battery doesn't freeze. After a sudden cold snap and big drop in temperature, you'll see a bunch of cars with a headlight that doesn't work. You need a heated garage to change that in. If the snow starts falling, lift up your wipers so ice doesn't form on the blades. Have a snow brush inside with you so thay you don't have to open a car door to retrieve it, dumping a bunch of snow onto your car seat.
You warm you car up for 10 minutes in a closed garage?
Smart.
No, when you go somewhere, chances are greater than not that you won't be in a heated indoor parking garage. So you have a 2 way remote with a range of thousands of feet, it lets you know that you car has started. Some people do start their cars in their garages, but either open the garage door a bit or they have hoses that fit over the exhaust and vent all of the fumes outside (not very common, but they exist).
Deals with the vermin of various kinds before you get in there.
