RI A sad day. Winter is coming

It hasn't snowed yet but the city already started salting the roads. The car will be chained to my driveway till spring. Thankfully I was able to complete my oil system overhaul and coolant flush in time. Just wish I could have driven it a little longer with all the new work I've put into it. Alas, there is enough rust on the bones as it is.

I'm driving mine through this winter. The first morning I saw snow on it was pretty painful. I only bought it in October so I haven't had much nice weather to drive in

I'm not concerned with driving in The snow. That's easy. What I'm trying to avoid is the rusting of my baby. I spent $500 last spring to have a body shop cut out fender rot. Honestly I'd prefer driving with chains to having municipalities throw salt all over the roads.
