Known honda rust area...I do it so there isn't more in the spring than already is there.

 

everyone needs to just buy a winter beater and garage there civic in a warm garage.
enough said.

 

My car was rust proofed last winter and i only got it this july and it is still nice and oily. so i dont have to worry about that this year
My only advice is to make sure your ebrake works, like amg said make for a lot more fun. what i do for a tire combination is leave my all seasons on the back and some winter tires on the front,

 

do alot of praying

 

im only gonna drive my honda when the roads are clear & dry --- for snow driving i'll use my 87 caprice crapper with 4 studded snow tires

 

But out of my vehicles, the Civic is my beater!

 

Good rubber floormats..!!! If you have the cloth mats they get destroyed from salt off the boots.

Oh.. and a nice scraper.

 

You need at least two scrapers. Your passengers need to chip in.

 

Scraper??? I just do a quick J-turn in the parking lot :-D J/k

 

Take the sun shade out of your car. You now ready for a winter in Southern Cali.
