We don't have as much snow in Richmond as you do in Northern VA, and the traffic congestion wouldn't be considered congestion by your standards.

I use two cars - my Boxster and a 1996 G20. The 986 has 110k on it. I've considered selling the G20 and using the proceeds for a set of wheels and snow tires. It would simplify my life to reduce my fleet. I have a hardtop for the winter and we can use my wife's Highlander for shopping.

I will probably want another Porsche in 5 years, so selling the Boxster with 160k on it versus 200k (if it gets that far) won't make a significant difference.

I vote for driving it.
