I have an 04 Boxster with a 5spd stick, and it is a fair weather daily driver. Since I have owned it, it has never seen snow, and sees rain only by accident. I have a Jeep Liberty for the cold, rain and snow. Seeing that I have 4 kids, the oldest is 7, and the youngest are 4 (twins), I will not likely be upgrading any time soon. I love this car, so if and when I upgrade, I will likely get a newer model. If the engine blows at some point, I will likely get an upgraded engine -maybe even a Raby rebuild or somethnig similar.
If I will the Lotto (kind of hard to win, since I don't play), or come by a large sum of money in some other way... Well, I have a list that I call my "12 Car Garage" (despite the name I currently have 21 cars on the list) and I will finally be able to build my garage and fill it up.
PS: I learned to drive on a stick, I will likely drive a stick until the day I die. No paddle shifters for me, thank you.
