Heated garage + 1000amp battery + AWD + snow tires = no winter issues.
I hate getting my Eclipse exposed to all that salt for the winter. But I have to drive something for winter. Anyone who thinks that the salt isn't that bad for there car is seriously delusional. In the Fall I go through and wax everything, including the engine bay, door jams, etc. But that salt is still eating away at the underside. Heck, last Saturday I washed it in the garage and hosed off the underside really good. But its still an uphill battle.
later,
