Well, my Citron Beige 9000 CS is in as good shape as I can have it. And I HATE driving it in winter. One of the reasons it has lasted so well is that for years it spent every winter garaged. I no longer have my nice red 900, though, and my ex took the sweet green 95 900 we had when he left. So I cringe every day I have to drive my poor 9K in salt.
What a foolish conceit we have that the roads must be clear of snow all the time. I am old enough to remember (1940s and 50s) when we didn't insist on clear, snow free roads. We had sand, tire chains, and proper snow tires. Our environment was healthier, our cars lasted longer, and our infrastructure was in much better shape.
The tons and tons and tons of salt we pour into our environment every winter will, I'm afraid, turn out to be an ecological disaster.
