Jack:

We keep JoesVan going, only driving it on dry, non-snowy days or
simply running it up to temp in the barn.  We never daily drive it or
run it in the salt.  I have averaged a start-up every two weeks for 7
winters now.  Also run it out to Bus BRR at Pokagon State Park.  That
event is February 28th, 2009!
