I had my car undercoated about 2 weeks ago. less than 5 days before our actual permanent snowfall began. i have on all season tires with a good amount of tread on them. i have my block heater plugged in when i'm at work but not at home (my parents say it's a waste of electricity and tell me to just warm-up the car earlier). i also have a mini heater that keeps the interior warm when i have the block heater plugged in too. i wash the car including the underbody and wheel wells every 5 days or so.

but what else can i do to keep the celica well maintained for the snowy and slippery streets? any suggestions?


here are some pics of the undercoat:
