With the colder climates slowly rolling in, and snow in the near future, what's your routine for winterizing your Vibe? Anything special planned this winter?
For instance, I know some of you have installed seat heaters (tempting...), driving lights (Shout out to KITT222!), etc.

I intend to have the rust spots fixed next summer.
