I decided to drive my box down south to FL and lend it to me dad for the winter. (He isn't in to Pcars, so its not a thrill for him). You know where I stood on this matter of winter driving.
I figured the salt/corrosion and the higher risk of accident - both at fault and no fault warranted ditching the box for a season.
More I think about it, more I think I'll get rid of my beater civic and switch to only 1 car year round within 6-12 months. The Pcar tech I spoke with in upstate NY formly believed salt wasn't much of the threat and if I get into a wreck it wouldn't be the end of the world (unless somebody gets hurt) since an 01 box isn't worth much anymore....
Next winter baby, I'll prolly have her.
