I'm thinking of driving my 09 Miata into part of the winter. The car has a PRHT which should help, but I noticed the mirrors have no defrost capability (even though it came with heated seats). The rust- proofing is an electric module, and the wheels will be winter tires on steel rims.
Winters here involve lots of snow for about 4 months, and salted roads, so in the interests of preservation (accidents) and in consideration of the ground clearance, on the worst days I'll be using another car.
It's a single car garage, insulated door, unheated. My plan is to install an electric heater (to keep the garage just above freezing), drill some holes in the floor (to drain off melted snow) and to cover the floor with cedar 5/4" boards. Sound like a good plan or am I deluding myself?
