Greg, I LIKE your attitude!! I had a '3 for 12 years in Virginia, then
North Carolina, then CONNECTICUT for God's sake!! Only car I owned! Went
a whole winter once without a heater core - sprung a leak and this
starving student couldn't afford a replacement.
Just make sure you let it warm up before you leave the driveway if
you're getting freezing rain (for those of you in El Paso, that's
regular rain that turns your car into an ice cube). I didn't (once) and
the highway just sort of disappeared at 60 MPH - scary!
