Well, I'm driving my car every day! Even during the 10 to 12 inches of snow yesterday. No problems, with the hardtop and snow tires mounted. I've never worried about the car being dirty, I just enjoy driving it and since I'm here in the Northeast, I'll just accept the weather and never let it stop me from enjoying the car.

Now about Driver's Ed. I have done a number of DE events in the past. In 1995 I totaled a new 993 coupe at Bridge Hampton. I reported exactly what happened to my insurance company (Commerce Insurance) and they promptly sued me to avoid paying the claim. Three years and $30,000 in lawyers fees later, the jury made them pay. Another year later, I collected my lawyers fees. In the mean time, the Massachusetts Standard Insurance Policy (everyone's policy in MA) has been amended to exclude coverage for all track events. Don't even think it will be paid. Look around for track insurance, if you can find it and afford it. Good Luck.
