Great thing, it has NEVER been driven in the winter in areas where they salt the roads. Until this next coming winter at least.

Tell me more about the cheap. I'm used to shelling out over 100 dollars a tire for my Jeep.
I just dropped $400 on some ultra-high-performance summer tires (installed, disposal, etc.) but you can routinely get them around $300 a set for plain old all-season tires. I've been driving on salted roads for 3 winters now and don't have any complaints about the paint. Granted, there are plenty of chips here and there, but it isn't rusting like a Ford pickup truck. I say buy it.

Do you do bring it to a carwash with an undercarriage wash once in a while during the winter?

"Leaning" on the cargo cover? How do you lean on the cargo cover?
