Moving on a tangent, why do you garage the car? I(snip)


Because I detest digging the car out of snow cover, and even when it
isn't snowing, scraping the frost off the windows?

My attached garage is not heated, other than what leaks out from the
imperfect house walls, and the hot engine block and other moving parts
that the car brings in from the cold. It freezes in there, but seldom
freezes hard. You are correct that thermal cycling promotes rust, but I
put that under the chapter heading of an acceptable tradeoff.

Now if I could just find a cost-effective way to make the driveway
shovel itself when it snows.
