Daily here unless there is accumulated snow/ice on the ground. Once I have another set of wheels with aggressive winter tires it will be year round.

I drive mine every day even in the snow (up to about 3 inches) and rain since I got it with some short breaks here and there for maintenance/repairs. It took a few weeks off at the end of last year while I figured out how to rebuild the steering rack.

25+ years old, 227k+ miles and it's faster and stronger now than when it rolled off the assembly line way back in the 80s.

What a car.

Also, let me add a nod to the suppliers on here 928sRus, 928intl, 928MS, 928 Specialists, HookedOnCars, Paul Champagne, Rob Budd, as well as the extremely talented inventors and advisers who keep these cars on the road. Guys like Tim Murphy, Ken L (Porken), Constantine, Herr Kuhn, Carl at 928MS and so many others I can't think of them all are giving us options and ideas that keep these timeless cars new and interesting.

Drive the GTS during the week, then use the hybrid on the weekends for all our errands and running around town.

If they salt the roads for snow (handful of times a year) it stays home; otherwise I'm not missing out on an opportunity to drive it.

I've been driving mine 60 miles a day in traffic (45 mins to 1 1/2 hours each way), five days a week for the past five years.
