Don't you just sell the car and buy another in the spring?
My current car is a 2014 sports package. Had a 2013 and a 2009 and before than a 2006. 350z. In between, I cheated.

I'm an all-season driver. She will see snow, she will get wet.

Just put winter tires on and drive except the few days when the snow is heavy or icy. Say you had 30 such bad days in a bad winter, when Its snowing and the roads have not been cleared. Taking a taxi or renting a car is probably cheaper than buying and maintaining a second car plus car insurance plus space to park the second car and such. Show love for your car by driving it!
Kind of how I feel. It will definitely be nicer to drive then my E36 all winter but I can't afford to buy winter tires and wheels for the Z this year.

Depression is setting in. Had it stored since September 15th. Normally wouldn't have put it away until November 1st, but I had to go out of town for work. Our winters are long, cold, wet, and very salty, so there'll be no winter driving the Z for me. About 8 degrees Fahrenheit here this evening. Hoping to get it out the beginning of April, but most people don't "officially" take out their nice stuff until May 1st around here.

This is my first winter and when I got off my car seeing the snow/slush/salt on my car I wanted to cry!!!!! But I will not put in storage. I have all season tires. I just won't go on heavy snow and maybe when the road is not so dirty. So the cold is not my worry, just the snow and salt.

Ahh good ol east coast... I enjoyed cape Breton I did a road trip there lol

Mine is garage kept but does come out in from time to time if it's a sunny day. As long as the roads are clean from salt/calcium and are dry I drive it from time to time.

I'm not depressed, quite the opposite, depression is my Z getting beat up with rock salt & cold patch from the crappy roads!
Rock chips in the paint & on the windshield ....... That's depression!

Well, it's warming up here in Chicago, so I plan on taking mine out for a few days. What I miss most is shifting my own gears. It makes just tooling around town at least a little enjoyable. It's been raining for a few days, so I hope most of the salt is washed off the roads. Car will need a wash before I put away again, but I can't pass up 40 and 50 degree days in January.

It certainly doesn't depress me. The Z car is an absolute pig in Minnesota winters. I own the car because it's fun to drive. But....it's only fun in the non-winter months. Mine is garaged starting with the very first snowflake in November, and doesn't come back out until the roads are completely clear in April. Maybe global warming will shorten that layup period someday, but it certainly hasn't so far.
