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:

And for all of you who are asking if its a lil extream about azain's undercoating, im guessin u have never been 2 winnipeg durin the winter or have seen pics of it durin the middel of winter.


A lot of Americans don't understand the extremnist of winter in Canada. If its bad enough in Minnesota, and Minnesota has its reputations, then it would be reasonable to assume it can be 10 times worst in Canada.

things work kinda weird here actually...
in the winter, it gets so cold that you wish it were summer..
but then in the summer, it gets so hot that you wish it were winter..

i'm satisfied enough to have all the seasons of the year instead of just hot & rainy seasons.. but it would help a lot if our winters were a tad milder.
