Harm will be done when your windows will freeze solid and ice will not let glass go down when you`ll try to open your doors. One way or another - it does not help any car to get covered in ice and then melt down several times. It does damage.

Everyone cringes at pics of your P-car sitting in the snow, but do they know how fun it is to "drive" our 355 hp sleds out on the roads? My 06 C4S kicks up some impressive 4 wheel rooster tails, but anything over 4" on the ground can cause problems. Cleaning the car afterwards is a bitch, power washer or not. Like my kids when they were young, I prefer to see my baby tucked in at night, all clean and warm.

Come on Dan.
