A Nice Thing to Do
When buying a new car, the dealer will offer a package that puts extra proctectant on the upolstery and paint of the car. In the long run anything to help protect the car especially with Northeast winters is a good thing. Mother nature is certainly not forgiving here.
Rubber Floor Mats
Highly recommend getting these for the winter months. Totally saves the salt getting into the carpet. The best I’ve seen yet are from Weather-Tech and they are made to fit your car.

Doin Donuts!
Rear wheel drive cars have the advantage in the winter time to have some fun with a fish-taily back end. Reminds me of some old school TV shows.
Regular Maintenance
It pays to spend a few hundred bucks now on regular service maintenance as opposed to several thousand down the road because things weren’t looked after.
When all else fails, read directions
My Mom used to half tease me about this when I was a kid, i would dive into the task and wonder why I was failing! Simple things like tire pressure sensor monitors…save yourself some time and read the manual for the how-to’s.
Tire Pressures
Learned new thing today. Some vehicles have the ability to read what the tire pressures are for each tire so manual read not needed-love technology!

Snowy Driving
Reminders about leaving extra space between you and car in front. Also, test your brakes before you really need them. Nothing is worse than the feeling of braking and not slowing down.
