Winter is snow on the ground, lots of snow. Also where some of us live, they
use road salt, lots of road salt. This stuff eats newer cars withing 4 years,
and they are built with double sided galvanized sheet metal. Our cars aren't,
so I put mine away for the winter. Yes, this year we did get colder than
Germany. :O That's why I have a dedicated winter car ($500 throw away car with real
heat). If I wasn't worried about it rusting out, then I'd drive it in the
winter, just like I did with my old bug. Two years after I stopped driving it, I
had to replace both heater channels, along with mostof the lower 6 inches of
sheet metal.
