Who drives a winter car?
Since winter is coming around soon, I thought I'd ask you folks if you store your cars over the winter, and drive another car? If so, what kind of car?
I know there's a few members in Canada that have winter cars.

yes with the skinnies...and a spool hahaha
I store the 86 T/a and drive the 92 firebird. I would like to buy something else so I could store both the birds but I keep spending too much on parts so oh well for this winter. If I could buy a winter car it would be a manual, preferably a a small size truck(s-10 or dakota). But no way I'd want an automatic for the winter.

But if I were you, I'd buy a Kia Sorento. You can't beat the price or the warranty and my friend has one ... the 4WD is excellent.

My winter car is a 1990 Pontiac 6000 LE. Awesome reliability and gas mileage. Can't beat the $900 I spent on it either. Oh and for the record, the winters are probably worse here than anywhere else in the country dang near.

Looking at buying this, or one just like it as a daily driver and selling the 87 4runner.

I actually prefer to drive mine in the winter, it rains just about everyday in the summer down here and the heat is brutal.
BTW---I went to the body shop today to check on my car!!!! It's gonna be sweet...
