Winterizing a car the old-fashioned wayThe snow is already falling in some parts of the country, and if you haven't already prepared your car for winter, now's the time. The good news: Winterization isn't anywhere near as big a deal as it once was; most cars will make it through the winter just fine with no special attention. Still, there are a few things you can do to ensure you avoid problems, and I've listed 'em in my article on how to winterize your car. -- Aaron Gold

Whew! I just completed my winterization program by removing my windshield reflector/screen from the front cabin and putting away in the trunk till April. Miami winters…what can I say!

Sure, laugh it up H.D. What you’re missing is Minnesota cold. We feel that it builds character. At least we hope so. Some good must come from it :)

Boy if that’s the case Mike, after spending several Siberian winters in the post-Soviet era, when they turned down the heat at night to just above freezing at night, then I must have enough character for 20 Americans!

I hope you’re right. As for me, I think I’d rather be soaking in some debauchery in Florida than shivering from all the excess character up here.

Debauchery? I think I knew that word before I got married!
