drive your civics in the winter?
for those of you that live in the areas with lots of snow, do you drive your civics throughout the winters? Or do you have winter beaters? I'm from michigan, and fortunately cannot afford two cars. Just wondering if you're feeling my pain with the salty cars in the winter?

For winter weather, keep the stock wheels on, and rinse off the car every week or so. Be sure to get like a pressure washer or soemthing and rinse underneath the car and the wheel wells, because thats where salt builds up the most. Also watch out for salt trucks....those things will bombard your car with salt. Salt Trucks suck.

I drive mine...I just make sure that I wash it at least once a week religiously to get all the damn salt off. Last winter I had it upstate at school, but now that I'm back south, the winters shouldn't be too bad...I hope.
