I don't drive mine during the winter, it gets winterized, parked and covered outside for the bad months. Keeps it off the salt filled roads.

No storage here either, keep it covered in the car port and when road / weather conditions permit and I have the time, off I go...........

Luckily I'm from the North Carolina where. I don't run into the salt problems of the north and it rarely snows here. This winter has pretty much been shorts weather. Today just to give you an Idea, as I right this it is 8:30am and it is 63 degrees out. I also don't have the ability to store mine because my 2006 monte is all I have lol

I wish I could store mine but I have no place to keep it, and its my only car. Just doing my best to wash it and trying not to leave the salt on the car any longer than it has to. I'm in landscaping as well so this car gets driven in the snow, and back, it sucks.

I store mine through the winter covered in the garage. It goes in storage mid-late November and will come out in mid-March (at the earliest) or April; timing depends on the weather. I now have my own second vehicle, the Cruze, that I just bought for my daily driver and winter car. Prior to that I was driving the family's spare SUV during the winter.

I store mine with a cover on it over the winter but mostly because i do not want to drive it during the winter, take it to college andhave the chance of it getting vandalized. I just bought a 92 oldsmobile for 300$ so now i get to have that as my beater. Love driving it cause i can drive it without worrying about anything happening to it :P
