Mine's tucked away inside of a garage with a car cover over it. I've got a 1993 Ford Escort wagon to get me through until spring.

Winter with an explanation. Car is in the garage and only comes out on nice days. Never when there is salt and crap on the road.

Can't drive my ERA Cobra in the winter so the Crossfire is good to go! Snows are on with 18" wheels all around.

i drive it through the winter but when the roads are mainly dry. a little salt dust will rinse off.

i drive my wife's X5 with snow tires in the heavy crap.

Cold no problem. When ice, snow, slush, that's what sick days are for. Or drive my wife's 320E .

Mine is put up for the winter and I drive my wife's Chevy Tracker 4WD to work, We both work at the same place and the same hours so that is real handy. I also have a 4WD Ford Ranger I use from time to time. We live in upstate New York and need 4WD in the winter.

Drive it all year around. I live in wisconsin and this will be my second winter with it, on the performance tires. Rust? Salt? I don't care, it's leased, besides the car ain't worth crap. KBB value is junk. And the fact that these are on overstock.com proves why they have no value.

I will be driving mine mostly on dry winter days, but last Wednesday day we got 3/4" of snow when I was on my way to work. My car was the dirtiest that it has ever been, the city used sand, salt and molasses on the roads. The front of my car looked like a commercial for "Got Milk?" with the white moustache, what a mess.
