Default Parked the SC for the winter? Post pics of your winter beater!

Let me start off.
This is the first year I've bought a winter beater and garaged my SC for the winter.

Look at this beauty, '88 Mazda 626, only 200k, manual, trunk shocks work! Only $500!

I've also included a picture of my SC, just to keep this thread somewhat credible lol. So lets see what your storing as well..
Freshly detailed and ready for storage.

Same for me, my winter beater is my DD. But most likely my girlfriends Rav4. Love going straight into dips at like full speed and not having to worry about anything!

I've got a Chrysler 300 and a Saturn that I use for daily drivers. I do drive my SC in the winter if it's nice outside, but that's it. I'll get some pics up later.

My SC is the DD, no other car at this time. I drive on stock wheels for the most part and have all season tires. Be honest, how is the SC in snow? I bought mine in March just after a huge snowfall in the Washington DC area last year so I have no idea how it does. I had a big E-Class Mercedes and it did ok in the snow. I guess it comes down to tires, skill, and getting a heavy *** car like the SC some momentum up hills!
