One thing to add to make winter driving more pleasurable is to add heated elements to your seats. They go for under $100 on eBay, really easy to install, and will quickly warm you up before the heater in the car can.

To help you preserve your car you can:
-Rustproof -Wash it from time to time to remove the salt -Buy rubber mats to avoid spilling calcium on the carpet A remote starter is always handy

I assume you have to wire into the clutch somehow? -------------------- 2007 Impreza 2.5i - Daily

Have it to where it'll cancel out the clutch interlock switch. I don't see the point in remote start, it's not worth the money and hassle. Block heater would be money better spent.

Just walk out and start your car, then walk back inside. So hard. I love the cold though, the last time it snowed I was out in shorts and a t-shirt.

If you don't have a block heater, you better get one Asap
