I totally understand that. I'm gonna be a sad panda if I can find a truck to drive when it starts snowing. But I'll be a little happier knowing my baby is in the garage getting repaired instead of getting eaten away by all the evil salt.

Snow and Rain did it for me...plus I couldnt commute to work and park at work as the car would have been destroyed taking it into Boston so it had to go. Sucks but I figure in the future ill get another lsx powered vehicle when I have more time for it.

I looked at a few inspection stickers a few months ago and realized that I've only driven my SS less than 3000 miles, IN 2 YEARS!!!!!

thats my situation. my car is too much of a baby. i dont know what she'd do being driven for more than 3 days in a row, she might just say "i quit." plus, god knows that the camaro wont do well on gravel roads or rig runs, and she doesnt like rain so i just drive the truck most days. i actually like driving the truck more, being higher off the ground, and being able to see, but my car definitely gives me the speed fix i need.

Ditto. After commuting in my truck, I really don't like commuting much in the 'bird. I feel like I can't see anything

I did drive it to work today so that I could take it racing tonight.

I would trade it for the $1200 dollars it cost to have all 3 each month.

I drive the jeep all the time now because it is getting colder and also you can't fit 4 adults in the camaro as easy as a grand cherokee. Plus it is easier and lazier to drive an auto to work when you are not fully awake yet.
