Being my daily school commuter and only costing a thousand bucks when i bought her, my monte will be on the road all winter. Gotta keep washing her though with all this salt, roads turn white around here in the winter.

Mine is a winter warrior also. But I put snow tires on with different rims for the winter. I want to save my dale jr rims from being ruined by the salt and ice.

Usually it's not too bad. Of course, being in NE Ohio we can easily get 8-12 inches dropped on us in a night from lake effect snow. I have no problems on regular roads but I did run into a few problems last Winter on the highway - Dead Man's Curve...no me gusta.

Ugghhh. Tad that news is just depressing. A reminder of how we get stuck with 5 to 6 months of winter every year around here.

5 to 6 months of stuff like you see in this commercial...

Here's another commercial that pretty much sums up how I feel around the middle of february. Especially the guy shovelling the driveway. Since I don't have a garage for the Monte.
