My car still has another couple months of hibernation left. No joy for me until May.

I don't hibernate my car, I couldn't get it up a hill to get to work the other day though because of the snow. I had to turn around and go home and take a different car. THey are nice cars to be inside in the winter, the heating works really well and the interiors are just nice and comfy places to be in. The rust on the other hand.

Welcome back to our Northern hemisphere folk! It gets hot as h*ll here in Australia but at least we don't have to hibernate our cars. We're actually looking forward to some cooler weather. It's 95° F for 4 days on the trot next week here on the outskirts of Sydney and my air con isn't working. First World problems!😁

Daily driver; rain, snow, or shine. So no hibernation.

I do throughly rinse the car top to bottom after driving on cold wet streets. So far, no rust other than a light dusting on the exhaust manifolds.

I am more worried more about the electronics aging out than I am about rust.
