This question is for those who aren't sissies and live in warm climate. Other than those who already have snow, ice and salt on the ground...what's your excuse for going into hibernation already??? Our cars are tough, built with processes that utilize extreme temperatures...so why put them away if there's no snow or chemicals on the ground?
Salt on roadways (in norther states and Canadian Provinces) makes it's way onto the undersides of cars as dry residue on the road or carried there by water (liquid or snow) ... and then melt into seams, cracks and crevices where rust can start more easily.
Ok...I dont think you read the question. EXCLUDING PEOPLE THAT ALREADY HAVE SNOW/SALT ON THE ROAD.....
I drive mine until the first salting. Then mothball it till spring. Temperature is irrelevant and actually both the gs and gn both have noticibly more giddy up on cold days.
I think I’ve driven my car more in the last two days here in mid Michigan than I have since I swapped my drive train this summer.
I typically drive mine until the first time the roads up here in Boston are treated. Then that's it. It doesn't come back out until the spring or after a few good downpours. Salt is the devil.
Left the yard this morning running though so cal at 3am some spots said 83 degrees but these santa Ana winds suck.. I'm parked in santa Barbara now it's a bit chilly here but yesterday was 95 during the day in most so cal areas.
Road salt? They never use it in Arkansas. They just expect you not to drive until the snow melts off. People laugh about southerners driving on snow and ice, but it is the highway department that is the problem, not the drivers.
