Excellent strategy! (I guess it's like many things -- 'you get used to it' -- but I can't imagine driving day in & day out, year in & year out, through the harsh winters that many members experience.....hats off to all!)

Mine has seen a bit of salt during the unusually mild winter here, but I've cleaned the floor thoroughly with water every time, so it won't have hurt it too much.
I'm wondering if I can keep this up next winter :D

The Winter Car is a Northern phenomenom.

If you want to save money and your good car, you buy a Winter Car.

Did a blog essay on this, ten years ago - The Winter Car.
