Garage
I drive my 2001 in anything except hail. Drive year round and once drove it when it was 30 degrees below zero. I admit I was pushing the limit and it did not sound happy.
No I don't baby this car. It starts well in an unheated garage. I wash it frequently(it's black and shows dirt).Could not imagine parking it in winter and experiencing Porsche withdrawal symptoms. Rain no problem but take it easy on the corners:dance:

I leave the top down from April through October. If I can't go out with the top down, I drive something else.

This pretty much describes my approach, though I'll sometimes drive during the colder months if I'm going to put, say, 20+ miles on her so she gets good and warmed up. And that only if it hasn't snowed for a good while.

Around here they spread way too much salt on the roads. I've seen it happen with the most minor flurries...it's just crazy.
