    SNOW! Whos driving their miatas in the snow this winter?

    Its snowing as we speak in PA, cant wait to drive the miata in the winter! I did all I can to try to prevent rust since my miata has never seen a winter ever, and was purchased with low milage (57k), so I will be washing mine every week and sprayed a protective 3m rust prevention.

    What are you doing to your cars for this winter? And whos driving theirs in the snow?

    I bought a 4WD Tacoma, to replace my now defunct 4WD Cherokee XJ, to avoid such a predicament. My Miata most likely got some snow prior to my ownership, since it was picked up by yours truly in Indianapolis. With that said, not on my watch!!!

    I'll drive mine in the snow if we get any this year. Usually it's only an inch or two once or twice a year. They don't salt the roads here so I don't have to worry about that.

    They just sand and gravel here. It's annoying and it lingers on the roads for months causing rock chips, but at least it isn't corrosive.

    My miata is rust free, literally cant find a salt sized grain of rust on it at all so we will see the effects of it after this winter, then next year I might buy a beater miata as a DD, and this will become my track/weekend car.

    I wouldnt mind sand on the roads But it would do absolutely nothing in the amount of snow we get.

    Where R U, in Colorado? I used to live in Denver, and that sounds like what they use in CO!

    I'd drive in the snow if I could, but we don't see much snow here in Florida. I used to love driving in the snow when I lived up north though. One of my favorite snow cars was a '84 Camero with a 305 and a 5-speed. Wheeeee!

    I would have driven it if I could have backed it out. Moved to FL, problem solved.
