I don't think I could even say that mines that clean underneath no rust but sure isn't shiny and new. That car in the background sure is interesting...

Yup.

Dude is a cop, actually - has a couple color-matched car and wheel combinations.

I would've done full undercoating on my car but I just got rust proofing done and did wheel wells myself and some parts of frame in the front since welding spots already looked rusted. Our Accords won't start rusting anytime soon but I did get it done to delay the process of developing rust further and of course also a peace of mind for me.

My winter setup isn't any different. But I do have the engine block heater installed and will use it on cold nights.

Way too early to put on winter tires. If the temp rises above 70 which sometimes still happens in October then the soft tread glazes. Unless you just can't wait for snow to happen?

Well this time last year we had three inches an by holloween we had almost a foot. So you never know in this area. The weather forecast had an inch possible this week. I would just rather not have my rims in salt if the chance happened.
