Realistically...

>American/western canadian winters

Lel snowlets.

Snow tires.

>not wearing the rust as a badge of honor and driving it until it becomes perilously decayed

>Western Canadian winters

I prefer the bitter, dry cold over what Eastern Canada and the Maritimes are subjected to every year lol

>groupchat
link? Is it Discord or Kik?

Western Canada has some of the best snow in the world.

Can't you just hose the shit off it once you're done?

Coat everywhere with rustbullet and never have to worry

it's not so much the weather as it is the salt + variations in weather.

if all you have to worry about is perma-winter, with NO salting, you might not be so bad off.

But if you get winter, then salting, and then the thaw, then there will be trouble.

hell, even just winter + thaw isnt that bad, it's the fucking salt. that shit is corrosive. There's a reason in the spring, roads in the northeast are covered with potholes and craters.

Generally, you shut off the hose from the inside because you don't want it to freeze.
