BRAT!!!! I had to go to CA to see one, very cool! And yeah, you know it's my #1 concern in life, keeping the salt off. If a road looks salted, I take a back road which isn't. Got the garden hose in the basement so it doesn't freeze solid, frequently hauling it outside and turning the water back on to the spigot. But I gotta say, my car is SO MUCH FUN in the snow!! So controlled, too, very easy to hold a drift angle around a corner and then even 50 feet up the road. And though it may sound like it, no I'm not driving like an idiot everywhere, only when sufficiently safe conditions exist.
