None of the above. It hibernates in Winter, unless there's a nice weekend where I can clean the salt off of it before putting it back in the garage. In summer, I drive it whenever I feel like it, rain or shine. Usually that's shine. No sense in letting it sit in a parking lot getting rained on all day.

Mine has been hibernating since October in a nice heated garage rite next to my bike in fact I have not seen the car since I put it away, i hope that it is still there. Oh well that is what insurance is for

Same for me Automon. I can't wait because in about 2 weeks it should finally be nice enough to get the car out. It's been 4 mo but it feels like four yrs so it will almost be like the first timeI got to drive my car.

I also have a SUV but just can't part with my Boxer. If this continues, she is going have 20k plus miles within a year.

Daily driver here. The car is too fun to save it for the next person to enjoy.

Daily Driver for me too

It puts me in a good mood on my way to client meetings, puts me in an even better mood on the way back from client meetings. All year round car too, but they wouldn't know that you need salt on the roads here in winter.

The only time I use the VW Passat is when we have more than 2 people to transport, a trip to Bunnings (Aussie version of HomeDepot) or we are heading on a long interstate trip with loads of luggage (like going to the skifields in winter).

Almost daily driver. I drive the Boxster 3 to 4 times a week and my truck the rest. The box does very well in all weather conditions, but the other drivers don't seem to do well when the weather turns bad. My truck can take a poor driver bouncing off of it better than the boxster.

Live in the north east, only have summer tires for it, do try to roll it every 3 or 4 weeks in the winter. Garage Queen for sure, but still manage about 10000/year. Luv is a red boxster and warm weather!

Mine is never used for commuting. I will only drive it on sunny days, cold or warm.

Sunday clothing: clean and shiny at all times, and never worn in inclement weather.
