Hey just looking for some opinion please. I have heard many different things through my searchs as what my best option would be for this winter. I try to take it out once a week if possible but what my question is is when it snows more it will be less should i add feul stabilizer to the gas? im going to be doing some mods this winter on it to if that makes a difference. THanks for any help!

you should be fine as long as you dont let the car sit for over a month without starting .and if it comes to that,keep the fuel tank as full as possible to avoid all possible condensation.now if its freezing everyday,i would suggest start and let it warm completely up at least once a day

Treat it like you would any other car and you should be fine. It is afterall a shortened Gallant.

yes, my front bumper looks like it's been sandblasted, my undercarriage is rusted like the Titanic, and so what? it's just a freakin' car !!!
