Winter!

Well, here in this part of the country, we are going to get some snow very soon. So I ordered a set of winter rubbers for my 560SEL because I don't want the coupe to get the abuses of road salt and sand. I would definately hose the bottom as often as I can when weather permitts. What about you guys? Store it away?

It hasn't snow here yet. Probably later this month or next. I got a set of Blizzark from Tirerack. They said that's the best in snow and ice in their tests. What you think?

Time for a 'Winter Ride"

My 420 is off the road until April. I really can't see risking the car to the Salt, sliding and other drivers. The only question I have is if anyone is storing cold or outside, what do you recommend in terms of starting and running the engine a/c, etc
