Makes sense. If I had funds or space for a second vehicle I'd probably have one. This will likely be a one car setup for maybe 2 years or so.

I thought about picking up an old crappy civic for the winter for the price of the winter setup, however the Z would still be out in the snow for the winter

well, part of the issue is corrosion and keeping the car clean, but the other is you feel like a frikken sitting duck while normal folks around you slide around in the ice/snow, and crash into you.

that said, i rather have a beater even if your z is outside, plugged in, and car covered.
