 But the cold doesn't hurt them as much as the heat in the summertime... I have most of mine outside here and there is more snow than that!! Just gotta keep most of the snow off them.......

It only hurts them in the damp climates; not in the dry ones out west.

I prefer to keep them inside a garage but usually every winter except this one I have a car sitting in the driveway covered in snow. Sitting, covered in snow won't hurt them but driving them in the snow with the clcium, sand and gravel layed on the road's will!!

If I can't keep my toys in a nice warm "toybox" then I figure I have too many toys.

Doesn`t hurt them one bit to sit outside in the winter.They are better outside than inside a damp garage with no heat.

I will say this - in our coastal climate leaving them outside for a few winters does lots off damage. Rot is bottom to top, inside to outside.

The green Monte is heart breaking! (you guys know I'm partial to green cars). If in Ontario, you know what is happening "slowly" to them...

My '06 Chev has spent the last 4 winters outside, once everything melts, I'm good to go...........and I don't even need to wash it. Still looks as good as when I drove it off the dealers lot. NOW, for the cheap azz chrome rims, leaving them out in the winter has ruined the finish, and they weren't cheap to buy.

If I lived in northern Ont. or due straight west, my only concern would be "freezer burn"  biggrin

I had a jeep that i left in ships long term parking while i was out to sea on a 6 month deployment. right beside the harbour in dartmouth. i had to replace the complete windshields frame, covered in salt with most of the paint blistered. actually i have a fiberglass body on the jeep now, after 10 years out there wasn't much of the body left.

It's a tough call every winter here trying to decide what gets to stay in and what doesn't. Usually boils down to which one needs work over the winter. The sad truth is there is no good time of the year to leave a  car outside without sustaining some kind of negative result.
