Default Protection from Nebraska weather

Not to steal the thread, but what are you guys in Nebraska and up north doing to protect the car from rust this season?

We're putting them under cover and not driving them, Mav...

I just put mine under cover today. Vacuumed, Sta-Billed, battery out, washed, and put under the cover. Took the keys off the keychain and hung 'em in the garage. I'll drive the truck until next spring.

If I HAD to drive it, I'd do as Meissenation mentioned and go to a wash rack that had the undercar spray. I made a three-head spray wand out of copper tubing this morning to slide under the truck to get off some salt, but it has to be above freezing to use it. I guess I'll use it in the spring under the Camaro before the rain washes away the last of the salt. I probably won't drive it until they at least get the sand off the roads...It holds some mighty damn big rocks to chip away at the cars.

The SS has been tucked away in the garage for a month and a half now...cant wait till spring.

I am still driving the Z though, until the snow hits, then it goes in the shop/shed under a cover too

I hate snow

I read somewhere to part on a sheet of plastic so the moisture coming out of the ground dont help rust the underside. I lived in NE for 8 yrs. Nice place I hope to go back someday.
