Is it better to run the car once in awhile or let it sit with the battery out until the spring?

I've heard its better to let it sit, but can this promote the engine to seize?
Thank you everyone!

store it with the fuel tank full otherwise condensation builds up in the tank causing rust on the fuel level sender and inside the pump. also check antifreeze specific gravity to make sure the mixture is adequate to keep it from freezing. frozen water equals a broken engine block.

These are modern cars and will be fine for the winter. I drive my 911 rarely and when I do it starts like a champ and runs fine.

If you were going to store it for a few years without driving, then this would be more relevant. Just park it and crank it back up in the Spring. Nothing special required.

Best way is to drive it for an hour or so every week...it keeps the battery charged up and fluids circulating and rust off the brakes. Other option is to park in my driveway..ha.
