Yes for me as well. I might drive it if it doesnt snow a couple times but other than that, it stays inside.

I'd store it, but I drive it pretty much every day it's not dumping rain or snow.

I store my car during the winter. I made the mistake of driving in the snow once, and ended up doing a 180 and getting stuck on the side of the road. (Black Ice) Wasn't even going that fast. Car shimmied, and then went around.

South Carolina=no snow, so year round driving, that is, until I park it for the build, then it'll be my weekend warrior only. In search now for a beater to drive while the SS is under the knife.

Well the Camaro has not seen snow since I purchased it in 1989. Every winter I make all the changes so I don't consider this stored but upgrade time. Right now I am installing a new set of Dart Heads.

I put mine in the garage all winter. But, I dont go out of my way to wait for a lot of good rains or anything before I drive the car.

If it nice enough I take the care out. If it isn't then I don't. I do not even drive it that much during the summer anymore either. I just trailer it to the track run it and then trailer it home.

I wish I could. But I can't afford to.

Plus I have no garage.
