I didn't last year since I had no where to store it, but since I have a truck I can drive in the winter, and a new house with garage, I think I'll probably store it this year

I store my 85 IROC, but not my 98 LS1 Camaro. It was meant to be driven.. I wash it right after a snow storm and every weekend if it gets dirty. It was meant to be driven

I voted 'no' but it rarely sees the outdoors except for exercise on really nice days. I might put 1,000 miles on it by the time April rolls around unless I take a trip to FL this winter.

Car from TX, far as I'm aware it saw its first (AND LAST) winter 
last year... Now I've got a 90 GMC Sierra for all 6 months 
of winter in Illinois... ...so the LS1 is safely under a cover in a garage; started once a week, etc.

My '98 Z has never seen a flake of snow or a drop of rain in it's whole life. My Nova has also been weather free since the restoration. I used to drive my '02 Z daily, but it is now stored in the winter as well.
So the answer is yes, x3.

I would if I could, but I don't have storage.
It sat out in the snow last year, although I didn't drive it in the weather, I have my Jeep for that. It gets driven i nthe rain all the time though, that doesn't bother me.
I actually got stuck driving the 'Bird in the snow yesterday morning though, my Jeep is down for a bunch of suspension and axle work (hopefully I'll get it done this weekend), and I had to get to work. It did pretty well though, the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's I'm running lived up to thier name.

No need to store a car when you live in snow free winter states. 
When searching for my T/A I've inspected 2 CETA's one had 8K miles and the other 12K miles both from MD. Topside look fabulous but old man winter had ravished them both underneath with corrosion and spots of rust. Personally I would never buy a car that spent 60% of it's life in snowy climates.
