If cars were people, they would probably belong to royal class. A neighbor's truck is wiped just as often as my own SUV. Cars usually get checked whether they are still pretty and running smoothly or not. Some cars take a beating in bad weather, and that is exactly the reason why car owners should protect them in the fall season. When winter comes, the engine may stall, the tires can lose pressure more often, the hoses can become wedged with some stray objects, and air filters can get clogged. Worse, you can't bring them to the mechanic or call the
car insurance company to inspect for damage.
