So where I'm from in Seattle, the winters don't get very bad. Well I'm in college now in Eastern Washington, and its getting really cold here. I'm talkin like, 4-5 inches of snow. I was wondering, what do you guys do for your cars, I don't have access to a garage, and I regularly idle my car to operating temp, but I wasn't sure what else you guys do to prepare for winter. Thanks guys

letting it warm up before you drive it is probably the best thing you can do. just make sure you got your antifreeze and switch to a thinner oil like 5 w 30 (if you dont already)

so thinner oil, and yeah i always run it and let it warm up all the way before i go anywhere... anything else i should worry about?

Try and wash it somewhat often to keep the road salt and **** off of the paint and out of the wheel wells.

Before winter check all your fluids, tire pressure, etc. to make sure everything is in check.

i havent been able to drive it, so i dont think there is any road salt in the wheel wells or paint

i will check my fluids today, and my tire pressure and everything...

thanks guys, this is my first real harsh winter for me so...
