I don't see any good things coming from cold starts for absolutely no reason at all.
Because surculating the oil keeps the seals in the engine from drying out. I had an 82 LTD that sat for over a year before I got it. When I went to get the oild change done, nearly every seal and gasket in the engine was leaking.
