I only have one car so I have to drive my BEnz in the winter, but if I were to buy another it would have to be a Benz. Now if I had a really nice 560SL or an older collector/show car there is no way it would ever see rain or snow. My 420SEL will have been exposed to its 15th winter this year, 13 of those in Halifax where you can mix the salt air in with the salt on the roads (lived 2 minutes from the water) and the other 2 in Toronto. Krown rust treatment is keeping the car in good shape combined with regular washing to get the salt off. I'm not in a heated garage, but it is generally warmer than the driveway.
