Re: winter (ugh) suggestions
no, the car will be fine. any trees or anything to park under? i assume its a daily driver? they make some all weather car covers but they can be pricey. depends on how anal you are

Re: winter (ugh) suggestions
well i tend to stray away from parking under trees due to the fact that the trees in my court contain berries and theyre a pain in the >>> to get off a white car and yeah daily driver here. not gonna waste my money on car cover... i already got my money situation lined up on stuff for my car in the future ;)

Make sure you keep her waxed up to help protect against all the harsh road chemicals they put down for snow/ice, get windshield washer fluid that has a de-icer in it and perhaps a spray bottle/can of de-icer for you door lock/handle. Also a good idea it to raise your wiper blades if you expect snow/freezing rain so they don't get frozen to the windshield.

i agree with all this as mine is a DD...but i also recommend dont lock the doors. ive only had a problem when the doors were locked (on blazers, jimmys, luminas, mustang, grand am---all the familys and my cars). start the car like 10 mins prior to leave time and let her run and warm up...may even need 15mins.

Mine is a DD also. During the winter I wash her every week just like in the summer. But if it gets too cold you have to find a good car wash. I use the auto spa in Hunt Valley/ timonium. Just as others have said de-icer in a spray bottle will be your friend. Also go to Home depot or lowes and get about 4 to 5 - 25pound sand bags to put in your trunk. The extra weight on the back of the car works wonders in the snow.
