I think its a good idea to get a winter car. I paid $1200 for a '92 Beretta GT, drove it for 2 years and sold it for $1000. Best $200 i’ve ever spent on a car. ---

The cost of winterizing it will be the same as getting a winter beater. Plus it seems like reliability is an issue with your lexus…lol. ---

brive it in winter and i PROMISE your aluminium intercooler will look like TOTAL SHIT by spring time, and the PS line screws will be rusted into place so will your wheels so will your maf pipe (its aluminium) so will your compressor and exhaust housings your air filter will probably be looking pretty shitty too, and might not even survive its up to you tho … ---

honestly… keep it clean and salt free (wash it atleast once a week… including the under side of it) and you’ll be good to go 🙂 ---

if woody made it through winter on 18" staggered chrome, any car can. put snows on the stock wheels, or get some steelies. stay in vaccum, and you’re fine. wash it once a week and i think you’ll be all set. is the car running? if so congrats. ---

Iv’e driven my car every winter, salt insn’t really doing any damage…im fine, I have a factory undercoat tho. If you plan on handing it down to your grandkids I wouldn’t take it through winter, GET SOME NICE SNOWS and they’re will be no damage, the only thing about winter that will hurt your car is shit you hit cause you cant stop or manuver. you still have your stock rims? ---

the only bad things I’ve heard about undercoating a car (that isn’t factory new) is that you can trap moisture/corrosion under it and actually make things worse(accelerate the process)… I have no personal experience with it, but thats what I’ve heard (If I understand it correctly) ---

You can drive anything in the winter. You could probably drive an all out race car and be semi ok. The question is do you want to. HRKs post is the most sensical. Your $$$ shit is gonna get F’d up. Salt\>Cars ---

I used to drive the pcar in the winter. The only reason I dont anymore is because I’m usually using the winter as an excuse to tinker with it in 1000000 pieces in my garage. People are so scared when it comes to winter driving it’s rediculous. It comes down to if you have the skills to handle your car or not.
