If you want to subject your Z to salt, calcium, and the risk of morons in Expeditions turning it into a crumpled soda can, more power to you bro. Again, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I've gotta ask... what's the benefit of driving a Z year-round vs the downside? And what would you tell someone who tried the same thing with, say, a Dodge Viper or a Z06? Is it just a cost thing? If so, then why is it so hard for people to admit that having a 2nd vehicle is the better option?
