I have heard of others putting 5 extra psi in the tires over the winter. I never do - but that is me.

Rosie will go in the heated shop once I make room. Nothing worse than working on a cold car. I like everything - tools, car, stuff - to be above 60* F when I'm working on it. Drives the moisture off too. Interesting though - once I'm in the shop with the lights, TV and stereo on for a couple hours, it get to around 70* F. Very comfortable. I heat it with a small electric space heater.

But then, I'm in the southwest corner of Canada. We grow frigging banana and palm trees in the summer. Winter here is some frost on a clear night and a ton of rain from November to April.

Two advantages of our weather - do not have the shovel the rain and you don't really freeze your balls off.
