All year round for me! Las Vegas baby! 365 days of tire smoking fun if we are lucky, it snows once a year. And it hardly ever rains.

if you have a daily driver, park it for the winter months. then take it out on nice days during that time.

I park it in the winter because I live in PA and the roads get pretty sloppy and salty in the winter. That's bad news for trying to keep the car look nice and with no rust. I'll take it out every once in a while in the winter on a nice day with no salt on the roads to make sure it's still running good.

Cold spell here today; it's supposed to go down to 45 tonight and only make it into the highs 60s tomorrow. Winter beater is only if you intend on running the snowbirds off the road that do 45mph in the passing lane.

Don't you hate us but hey, we get a crsip breeze in the summer, sometimes 120 MPH

Had it parked but I could hear it calling me at night. Took it out for a few 60 degree days last week. It is now parked again.
