how bad is winter for an old car?

Remember to cover the ground with plastic to keep the moisture from coming up and attaching itself to all the bottom surfaces on the car.

Also, when you place it on jackstands, place them under the control arms and rear axle. If you let the suspension hang down, it puts a lot of strain on the bushings that will tear them in time.

Or you could just move to Florida....I know, easier said than done!!

Good luck.
