Although I can use my car year around, I get it!

My older brother lives in south Florida, loves cars but has a tough time enjoying driving his two pride and joy corvettes. The cars are immaculate, covered, garage kept and low mileage. His enjoyment comes from the the cars looking like they just came out of the showroom.

To each his own!

sounds about right

It's funny, when I bought my 986, a C4 Corvette was one of the other cars I was considering. One of the things I had researched was winter capability...on the Corvette forums, everyone pretty much said "you're an idiot if you drive in the winter." On the Porsche forums, the consensus was more along the lines of "get some snow tires and drive, do donuts in the parking lot, it'll be awesome!" I suspect the Corvette would have been totally fine, but I found the difference in attitudes pretty amusing.
