see thats what i told him, but then today i was looking at craigslistings in the north and i see a few people that were saying the same in there sales pitch, like garage kept type deal.

i thought clearly there must be more to this, or maybe its a yankee thing

i think they do that to make room for all the shovels, icescrapers, and snow wet boots

lol, yea i've never taken mine out in the winter....Rims are a different story though..salt +chrome=NONO

what about the condensation that might form on the warm amp and VC?

note, I don't actually know what condensation is like, I live in Arizona

I think if sweating in the amps was an issue you'd also see headunits, ECU's, etc, etc having that problem as well.

**shrugs** head units might have the problem too

ECUs are extremely well sealed up though

Agreed ^^^ what he said

WTF ??? i have never taken mine out !!! if anything cold weather helps keep the amps from going into protection from overheating

[loudcav 1]

[jonbearsmt 919]

i have heard of the rims. and i assumed it was the salt,

i have never had sweat issues, but as stated i live in TEXAS thanks fellas

Not all that many people further north than I... and I have never removed anything for the winter.

[todd.brust 29]

MN here...never had a problem

[mccleery3 166]

Never take mine out either, and the extra weight def. helps in the winter.

Two years in Montana (27 below was the high on Christmas day the last year I was there) and no problems. When it gets cold, humidity drops really low, first off, and second condensation occurs when the surface is colder than the surrounding humid air, not on warm surfaces in cold air.

Never heard of that. I used to always store my summer car with all that stuff in it for the winter, and not heated. Cars don't rust under 32F as long as there is not salt on them. You do need to make sure the car is dry inside before you store it, and will not get water in it. Otherwise you will find a rain forest inside the car. I never have beat on the stereo before the car got warmed up though.

well if there is snow there is gonna be salt trucks...well in nap anyway,,,

Although a good point made was that u do need to make sure the inside of ur car is dry, but this goes for over night sittin as well.

Otherwise yea ur insides is gonna be all fogged up and what not.

I;m sure it might work the same if water got into ur trunk...hmmmm....mythubusters
