I am sick of winter way too early this year. I'm driving a Ford Aerostar AWD and I sooo can not wait to get my car out of storage. The salt layer around here (SE WI) is sickening

i use to... but not driving it in the snow is saving me around $500/year (not including wear/tear/gas costs on the SS in comparison to the cheaper cavalier).. kinda stupid for me not to store it in that case lol

drive car year round. 0 ***** given about salt. Rusty parts can be cleaned/replaced, that time lost not driving the car cannot. Plus it's cheaper to only have 1 car. Driving in snow is too much fun. I regret every minute of when I stored my balt

In all honesty I dont really park my car in the winter unless its bad. The only reason I bought a beater was to keep miles off my HHR because as of right now im trying to buy a house and the last thing I need is a car thats racking up miles thats not paid off yet. I put almost 20k miles on it in less than a year. I drive alot
