I'm thinking of bringing her out before spring.

I'll take the risk. Garage queen here. I drive the hell out of the car from late March to early December. Then it hides during the crappiest time of the year. Salt, sand and some kind of nuclear volcanic rock substance they throw on the streets here does not touch my car.
When it's time to drive it always looks good and runs perfectly. Does that make it a queen? Maybe. But I have had a bunch of Pcars and this one is a long term keeper. Just finished our home in Florida and will drive it there in November so I can drive it in February with the windows down.
I applaud all of you who flog your cars in the dead of winter just not worth it to me.

First garage queen winter for me, ever. Im trying to keep the underbits in good shape for a full exhaust install next month. Its been really, really, really hard. Not sure I can handle another season like this though. Got the wife a macan s that i drive hard occasionally but its not the same 
Next year i will consider driving year round. Not for commuting tho. Winter sucks here.
Im a bit torn because I hate not getting my oil up to 210, and driving like a grandma wondering if that prius with bald *** all seasons will spin into me..

I don't drive the GTS or the M3 in the winter and keep both cars as pristine as possible which gives me great pleasure.
We have 2 DD beaters which more than suffice in the winter...

That rocks! Did some scouting in the last storm for open spaces to do similar, though unsanctioned, experiences.
Well done. Cheers.

I took her out! She didn't melt and all is good.
It's been cool and sunny over the weekend. Snow and ice in the forecast.
Had a blast. I'm not gonna wash it, just wait till the next sunny day to flog her again.

This is the coldest stretch I can recall in a long, long time. It's been -20 to -30 Celcius for a while here now. I'll be tempted to bring mine out early if we have a nice March.
