Goat in winter-hopefully no wear and tear??

joeyk97 · 02-16-2007, 07:18 PM

For anyone that drives the goat in the winter has anyone had problems with wear and tear? I guess I am just curious because I've only had my goat for going into a month now and been driving it around in the winter with the cold, ice, snow. I just hope that my goat won't have any problems when it does get warm because of my driving in the winter. Ofcourse I've had my share of spins, stuck in ditch which means flooring it to get out of ice here and there. I guess when it gets warmer I am going to take my car in the dealer and make sure there was no damage done to my goat.

Next year I am going to invest in a winter car and keep my goat in the garage. I didn't realize the goat was this bad in the winter!

This is the second winter for mine. The only visible wear is the felt door trim on the passenger side ripped and filled with water, then froze. I had the garage put in a new piece, and is fine now. Other than that just salt and sand peppering my car. I love driving it in the winter.

I'd check it for damage after going to the dealer

From what I understand the trip to the dealer starts most of the problems.

I guess you must have snow tires to actually enjoy it in the winter. I am hoping as far as mechanical wise there is no damage. Especially with trying to get out or parking lots and having to work hard just to get out of them

Dont worry about driving in winter, these cars will never be classics, they're pretty much just temporary toys, so enjoy your car by driving it as much as possible....

Oh ofcourse but I just want to be sure that the winter doesnt kill my car's performance when the summer times comes around mechanically

Winter will hurt your car, snow will, ice will, water will, summer will, heat will, driving it will, not driving it will, and time will hurt it too. It's a car. Stuff happens. Just enjoy it and fix it when it needs fixing. oh and a winter suv is a good idea, especially around where we live.
