If you love your car, you drive it. Folks in Canada DD it. Just put good winter tires on and use it all winter long. Yes, on the few days, maybe 5 a month, it's snowing or icy. In that case taking a taxi is cheaper than using another car, pay for upkeep and maintenance of that car.

Why does every discussion with you end up involving a labored analogy involving women?

Cause, in my opinion, folks on car forums read the thread, respond with unrelated questions. My point is that a car gets old. If you purchase a car for investment purposes, I can understand keeping the mileage low, storing through entire winters. If you really bought it because you love the car, then you ought to drive it every day that you can. In most places in the USA, roads are cleared up pretty quickly and you can drive and taking a taxi on bad days is probably cheaper.

Parking lot dents and dings might happen only if you let the cold make you park 50 feet closer and next to badly parked cars.

So all of that leads to awkward analogies about women? This isn't a new thing for you. You've done it the entire time you've been here. All three Zs.

Also, I'm not sure if you know this (since you've posted before about regularly doing 100+mph on OEM summer tires in near-freezing conditions) but summer tires do not grip well in the cold, regardless of whether or not there's moisture on the road. Maybe some people don't want to switch wheels or neuter the car with all-seasons.
