Howdy AZINERS quick question now that winter is almost here..... what preps should be done b4 winter comes ....like i got winter tires....dont know what else should i worry about ....this is my 2nd winter with my baby with about 50k miles

 

make sure your ass warmers work, dont want to find out when its freezing outside. all fluid levels at the proper level. winter tires help but i never needed the use for them, just drive more cautiously.

 

so glad I moved to Atlanta from Denver, no more tire swapping!!! But, i feel your pain, especially when stationed in South Dakota for 4 years...i had to take my konig monsoons off to put my studded snows on with steelies and hubcaps....just lookin busted I remember how hard it was to put my nice wheels up for the winter..that sucked real hard

 

I heard it was bad for men to use heated seats:

im not talking about using it for an hour. i use it till my ass is warm 5-10min then i turn it off. thats all i need them for.

 

Yeah i know, just bringing awareness. For my car, it usually gets so hot for me that it gets uncomfortable so I have to turn it off after about 10 mins after it starts up.

 

Dude I leave my seat heaters on like all the time in winter!! guess I've been losing my fertility wihtout knowing it.. haha. Guess I'll stop that this year.

Kinda funny that the article says in the end to wear baggy underwear. Maybe the whole briefs are bad for your junk is true lol

 

Lucky I live in Hawaii. Its never cold here. hehe

 

Seat heaters are for pansies.

Just make sure all your fluids are where they are supposed to be. Have you coolant tested and thats about it.

 

Ugly wheel time!!!

Coolant definitely checked. Maybe a flush before winter if you haven't already?

 

Also when you put your summer wheels up, make sure they are properly stored as to not develop cracking and such.

 

get a beater i got a 03 kia mini van with big honkin snow tires to haul me and my fat friends snow boarding that way i smack it i still have my tl

 

about the heated cars bad for your progeny. just make sure you get rid of that defective load. then when you're out of the car and back to normal temps, you'll be producing mini rockets just fine no?

 

make sure the air will come out of your defrost vents and its not stuck coming out the the dash vents like it is mine

as far your junk and heated seats, your boys are supossed to stay slightly under 98.6 degrees. thats why they say boxers so your guys are up against your body.

 

Going back on-topic ...

1) fluids -- oil, brake, transmission, windshield washer fluid, etc
2) tire pressures (even the spare!)
3) shovel / bags of sand or kitty litter (weight for traction or to spread on ice if necessary)
4) blanket (polar fleece, etc -- just in case)
5) ice scraper

I think that's it that I have in my checklist for winter.
