I think yall got the wrong question to be asking... Why do yall let your car sit for 6 months without driving it. LOL


I know its cause of salt; not everyone can be blessed with a state that has moderate weather year round.

Up here it ain’t just the salt. In fact little salt is used here since it doesn’t work when it’s 20C below. The issue is driving down a road with 6 inch ridges of packed ice in a car with only 4 inches of clearance. The ideal winter vehicle of choice up here is a raised F-150 4X4 with 400 lbs of sand in the back. So, my Boxster goes to bed with fresh oil in late October and wakes up in early April. And she loves me for that. My wife has an Escape we use 90% of the time in winter and I have a beater Fusion I use if needed.
