I will soon be in my 6th winter of snow driving with my tt. The rust concern is so overblown, I think it should be put to rest. I have no rust. Our roads are salted, so I'd guess my use is as rough as anybody's. The only real risk is somebody sliding into you, but in my 43 years of midwest driving, that has only happened to me in dry conditions. If you have snow and don't use your tt in it, it's like ahving sunglasses, but refusing to use them in bright sun. Makes no sense.AS

No rust here either and my car is a daily driver with 153,000+ miles on the ticker - the rust issue is WAY overblown. Good luck!!

T2, WOW! 153k!! That's impressive.

Hey, can give me a top ten list (or top 3, 5 etc) of the things you've done to preserve the car's high performance and longevity? (Babying it is obviously not one of them!). Thanks. GBG

Change the oil every 5000 miles religiously, do the scheduled maintenance on time, change the tranny and diff fluids every 60000 miles and lastly drive the car - those that are driven often seem to do the best (at least thats what mt mechanic tells me). Basically drive it every day, don't be scared of the track or snow or a nice day for that matter it'll get you where your going in any of those situations and service it when it needs it - it'll treat you like diamonds and keep a smile on your face all day long. I love showing up to cruise nights and telling people it has over 150,000 miles on it and they say WHAT!!!???? - that alone is worth it!! Here's to another 150,000!! Good Luck!! T2
