    Hi - It's my first winter with my beloved 360 and I was wondering if anyone had any advice about driving their F's in the winter beyond the obvious i.e. staying out of the snow.

    I should be home for most of the season so I guess I won't need to use a battery charger. I'm not really sure if there are any dangers about driving the F in cold weather but then again my knowledge of cars is quite minimal.

    Thanks.

    Get your car serviced for the season (antifreeze tested, antifreeze Windshield Solution, etc)
    Get all season tires on
    Stay out of the snow when possible
    stay out of the salt
    watch for sand on the LIE & other NY roads
    watch out for black ice, NY pot holes (tire size), NY sink holes (VW size), and the standard NYC black hole abysses (cars just disappear)
    And have a blast!

    go until the salt gets put down after that no driving until the rain washes the salt away hopefully in March.

    After the first snow the roads crap up quick with sand and salt. One of the best investments I made was 3M over the rear of each wheel well. You still have to worry about all the new pot holes, but it gives your paint a fighting chance.
