Winter Maintenance

Is there anything that you guys do when your car is in storage for the winter? of even if you're driving it? Any preventive maintenance I should do or inspections that should be performed? I have a lift so any suggestion for undercarriage work would be nice too.

I don't do anything to the cars I have in winter storage. I figure 3-4 months isn't too long. How long you keeping it in storage?

Honestly most of our cars are still rather new, so I think it may be a little overrated on the whole "winterized" car maintenance.

Only thing if driving in areas with a lot of salt, I would just do a undercarriage wash every once in awhile to prevent any possible rust formation.

I don't do any winter maintenance, but I do try to drive the car at least 1-3 times week, if winter permits.

I am missing mine already has been sleeping in the garage since Thanksgiving.
The salt on the streets here is just too much, even if I do wash it, by the time I drive it home it'll just re-accumulate some salt.
Can't wait for the heavy spring rains to clear the streets from all the crap they have.
