Hey Barbara in Montana, I don't put my van away either. I do get it ready for winter, just like any other car, but it is my primary vehicle and I drive it anywhere, any time. It's a tough old beast, and has lasted 19 years/280,000 miles with plenty more to go. Just wash the salt off once in a while. Having a Syncro, you will do even better than I do in winter.
