Mine is a daily but not in the winter. One of the reasons is my daily commute is 120 miles round trip. I can avoid the snow and keep the miles reasonable.

I live in Farmington and spend most of my time during the days driving in-town to Simsbury to Newington. During the summer, I'm down in Noank and venture around Mystic, Stonington, Watch Hill. I spend about 6 days a year up at Lime Rock with BMWCCA chapters - great fun (am in B Solo group - next step is the top!). Next year I'm venturing out to Watkins Glen.

Okay the biggest nightmare...

A (woman/man) driving a 1992 rusted out Suburban (with wood panels) (talking on a cellphone/eating a Big Mac/putting on makeup/rocking to Metallica) with lingering road rage on bald M+S tires tailgating after an ice storm...
