Regarding Boxster driving vs. storing in the winter, if I wanted $40k of garage furniture, I'd send my wife to Ethan Allen with the credit card. But I would rather an exciting ride to and from work; my Boxster is just as much fun to drive when it's 20 degrees as when it's 70 (convertibleness, notwithstanding), so I can't imagine putting it away for 4 months of the year and dealing with a Hyundai or something.
Boxsters are a dime a dozen and are a depreciating asset. Every day that I own my car, it drops in value a few dollars, regardless of whether I drive it or not. So my opinion is that I should get my money's worth!! Sure, the salt isn't the best for it, but neither are the bugs and rocks that happen on summer drives.
Now, if I bought a collectible as an investment, I'd look at this completely differently...
