Default Debating a second trans am opinion needed.

So I recently got a job where its only a 13 minute bike ride there and back so I started to debate selling my toyota corolla and add another trans am to the collection. I currently have a 99 trans am ws6 red auto in amazing shape with 53,000 miles. I'd definitely keep it nice and get a higher mileage manual firebird or trans am to drive all year. I have snow tires I could throw on it and I could always walk to work if I had to. I guess my question is how many of you guys rock them all year round and is it a crime against the car gods to do soo. I just love these cars and dont like taking mine out too much since its soo nice, thanks.

There are many owners who drive them all year in snowy conditions. I like your idea of getting a higher mileage one so you won't feel bad about the condition deteriorating. Sure beats driving a Toyota!

I DD my WS6, just hit 70k. Rain season started here in Seattle and I plan on using it until it gets icy. You do have to be much more careful than the corolla, you can fishtail very easily if you're a leadfoot.

I'm fine with putting miles on my car, but if you want to preserve yours, I'd go and get a Z28. Much cheaper than getting another WS6 and basically the same car.
