Default What's your Civic's fate this winter?

Especially those who are lowered and are running summer rubber, we're down a handful of weeks left until the fluffy white stuff can fall.

What are you doing to get your car ready for winter? Or maybe winter for you is 70 degrees and rain.

What are your plans during the winter and onto next year for your car?

Doing : Ridin ugly stock hubcaps and steelies on crappy a/s Cooper tires. Redoing the grounds in 4 gauge, maybe some audio, definately an alarm. Getting around to installing my exhaust. Refinishing some LS rims for it, maybe polishing them.

Would like: Supercharged K-Series instead of tuition payments.

I ain't doing anything... it'll stay as it has been through the summer... Works, lowered all the way and all. It survived last year, through the snow and stuff too, so i'm sure it'll cope this time around aswell.

It'll be gone this time next year so... eh, who cares.

Alabama... I will be lucky if it gets cold enough to wear a real coat... It normally stays warm enough that you can survive with a long sleeve shirt

See, I've just gotta have a ton of curvy/mountain passes and I'm happy. My car doesn't yell at me, if she's having a bad day.

I made the change from Wisconsin to Clearwater, FL for a couple months. I loved it, and plan on moving back to Tampa some day. It doesnt help that I lived for free in a condo on the beach though.

I installed a block heater, but probably won't be using the Civic more than 1-2 days a week during the winter.

Got a closet full of goodies for the Spring though.
