I have snow tires. Car is great in the snow. That said, I also have a Land Rover and mix it up all the time.

All year round for me, except if it snows.

Mine gets put away for the winter. 70 degrees in Colorado today, so her winter hibernation might be short this year.

Been saying that for years. People in Wisconsin seem to get together quite a bit, but I have yet to meet any of the Chicago guys. It's a shame, I heard Z is super sexy.

Mine is neither. I don't drive it every day, but the times I do drive it are not limited to summer - it more depends on the weather, and what type of drive I'm planning to do.

Yeah, me too.

So my car is stored from mid-November until April.

When I was commuting 80 miles roundtrip I rode one of my motorcycles if it was clear and the 928 if it was rainy. Oh, many times I took the 928 even if it was clear, and the 928 is otherwise my daily driver with 142K miles in 10 years of ownership. Use it or lose it.

I am storing my 83 S2 at a friend's heated garage in Indiana. Did the Zaino thing, dropped a few bags of dessicant in the hatch, pulled the battery, put on a cover, then put her in a bag until April.

Glad to see a few more shark owners here in Illinois. We'll have to come out and play when it gets warmer...

Same here. I drive it at least three or four times a week, but it isn't necessarily weekday or weekend. I don't hibernate it for the winter because there are too many days here in Colorado where it's cold, but sunny and good roads. My favorite time to drive the 928 is when the air is cold.
