ya. sucks. glad my stang isn't my daily driver. She isn't a garage queen, but if it's snowing or there's salt on the roads, she stays in the driveway.

I haven't tried it first hand yet but I was thinking spray your wheel wells with wd-40 and that snow won't pack up in there. I'm glad to see your driving yours like it should be driven.

I thought you were joking when you posted that comment in another thread. Might have to try it on my wife's leased Escape first

I don't think SoCal people are allowed to complain. We never have to store our cars and it doesn't snow. If we complain, they will hunt is down like animals.

Good thread to ask a rust question:

The underbody coating looks not pretty strong (just primer?) does someone has bad experience with rust so far? I think to get it conserved with some wax.

When you get to the range where degC and decF are close to the same number, it is all bad.

I have driven my car through several winter as a DD and I don't see any rust under then other than on the rear axle.
