The safest solution is to pick up a winter car, a beater that is mechanically sound. I didn't care if I had to use a broom to get the snow off the winter beater. I used to do this for years when I wintered in Wisconsin. Now my solution is that I take my ride to Florida for the winter.
It's not just the snow but the rock salt and gravel on the highways that also beat the hell out of your baby. Ever forced to drive behind a snowplow that is dropping rock salt on the freeway? If you're driving a beater you don't mind that constant tick, tick, tick sound as the chunks of salt are chipping paint off.
You'd be surprised at how nice of a beater you can get for a couple hundred bucks. What's it worth to you to keep your nice shiny new ride in pristine condition? Park in in the garage and cover it for the duration.
