    Myself....I put my race Alfa in the garage all winter, and buy a beater when winter is coming. I dont want THAT cold air to come into my open velocity stacks/throttle bodies. Sooo it´s getting cold as **** here....and im waiting for the guy that bought my M3 to send me my garage keys....(accidently forgot it on the car keys). Then i´ll be buying another italian as a winter car.

    So what´s your story....what do you drive when you´re ferrari is in winter storage?

    I drive the Lotus year round, but I do pick my spots in the Winter. I don't drive it when the roads are wet; as long as it's below freezing I'm not shy to take a spin.

    A Honda Accord is my bad weather car.

    Thats awesome! We just get the crap all year. A little sun and a lot of rain but no snow. Of course it has been nice this year but that is not the norm. I need to move somewhere where you can race year round. Who cares about skiing anyway?

    For the past 3 days I have driven the Tiger to work. Top down and lovin' it.

    Winter in SoCal means wearing a sweatshirt while you drive with the top down.

    We don't have winter in Savannah. But, I drive my Miata in bad weather. My only gripe is I can't put the top down under 70 deg - plastic might crack.

    Wow, that looks like fun. Western New York is a fun place to visit in the summer or fall. I don't know about all that white stuff though?? I hear the lake effect snow could be borderline deadly this year!

    I think it's what people use to describe that period where the temperature drops into the eighties and you can see a white fluffy thing in the sky.
