OK...yes winter is coming and some of us people have to think if they want to drive our cars in the snow...SALT! no way! I am going to garage it for the winter and then make plans of what I am going to do when snow melts... I will save lots of money.... My g/f will drive me to work a whole 1.8 miles away...now I know you guys in the south have no problems with snow but hey...us people up north have to think twice about driving in the snow...

So who else is storing their car?

 

might do it if it gets too bad
use the corolla

 

Mine's getting parked in my garage. I have an '82 4x4 Toyota Pickup for winter use.

 

1990 Geo Prizm is going to haul me around this winter.

But, I'll take the tC out for exercise once in a while.

 

i will check on her on the nice days

 

I don't have a spare car to drive, if I get my new job, I may garage my car this winter and commute with my buddy. I don't care about paying for his gas so my car stays nice and saltfree.

 

I don't have a garage but I do have an enclosed porch in the rear of the house which I will use to store my xB and of course I will use a car cover...
Currently looking for a winter beater, a Nissan of course...

 

umm since snow gets high in chicago im stuck in my garage anyway. its impossible for me to get out if theres just like 6 inches.

 

Location, location, location. Enjoy the evil white stuff, kids!

 

fine get me a job over there and i won't have this problem hehe

 

i live in arizona...winters here are still 80 degrees during the day. no storage needed lol

 

leaving the car sitting is not reall a good idea it will start to rust. Oil or fluids in the moving parts actually help against rusting. if u keep the car parked for a while everything will rust little from drive axles, rotors, cylinder walls etc. make sure u drive the car couple times a week. not just run the engine but drive. and give it a good wash. even if there are no snow on the ground there will be salt left on the road from previous snowfall. cars are meant to be driven so drive it.

 

where u from?????? ok my car won't get rust from a few months in the garage...are u kidding me...obviously u have no idea what snow looks like...people own hot rods here and i am not saying a tc is one but i think storing them for a few months isn't a bad choice on my part or any one elses...

 

well.. i only have 1 car, so i will have to drive it
i clean it very often during winter time so it doesn't get rust
it survived last winter and looks clean so far.

 

just hope no one backs into you...

 

Yes, I do plan on driving mine when the roads are clear and the temp is above freezing. When I am done driving, I wash it down, including jacking it up and getting everything underneath. It will sit no longer than a month at a time if the weather is anything like last winter.

There's nothing like washing your car when the temperature is in the 30s. You get some funny looks.

Also, we don't need to forget that all of our Scions sat on a boat for a month straight out of the factory.

 

but that wasn't in subfreezing weather with salt eating away at everything.

watch those underbody panels guys!

 

ok i'm starting to get scared

 

Yeah, I'm definitely driving mine. There's no other option when you're a poor college student like me.

 

i'm not storing an econobox for winter, it's an economy car for a reason. that'd be like someone storing a civic EX
