well one is literally a ticking time bomb waiting to become a paper weight and the other has a dry sump
...that's also a ticking time bomb like all engines. Both will eventually need a rebuild, and both will cost a lot of money to rebuild, and both you can choose how much power you want after the rebuild, and both have solutions to what ails them.
Tell you what, get 2 car covers and park it outside. I promise you it won't melt or freeze or whatever else your worried about. Turbo is AWD so you can drive it all year long.
I'm in VA so winters aren't that bad. No interest in driving either one in salt that's for sure; AWD notwithstanding. AWD DD for that, fortunately. Perhaps though, thx

This isn't even close. The TT always has been and always will be the more valuable car. Even accounting for the recent "early 99" fetish on this board.

I'm in DC so I'm with you. The amount of snow we've seen over last few years is laughable at best. With that your cars are do not appear to be museum pieces so I'd quit stressing over it, use them as cars and enjoy them as meant to be. Rust is not an issue with them unless you seriously neglect, which doesn't seem like you would. My 40th AE gets used all 12 months and puts a smile on my face all 12 months.
