I guess I would say its his car, unless your making the payments it shouldn't bother you either. There is a guy at the gym who drives his corvette no matter how much snow is falling.

My daughter married a Canadian and moved to Winterpeg for 9 years. We visited her once in the winter and I told her never again. Even other Canadians laugh at people who live there... 
She's back in VA now...without the Canadian.

Bother?
Oh it didn't "bother" me one bit, I wasn't behind him on the frozen, wind polished, icy street. My Wrangler was in 4WD going along my merry way in the opposite direction. Just somewhat of a surprising sight to see in December

Can't say I've driven my car when it was -14* outside, but I have driven it in snow before. Not the most pleasant experience, but it did get me to where I needed to go. That was a long time ago though and anymore I leave the Vette in the garage unless it is very nice weather - driving in bad conditions is what I have my DD for.

Oh I know, it wasn't cold, at all. It was actually about -20 c when I saw the Z the night before. It's been a relatively balmy winter here so far. I know what -40 and colder is all about. I've played hockey with some guys that played up in Anchorage.
Point being with having something like the Z out on the road was it's not a regular sight to see around here in the winter. Traction sucks because of tire compounds, contact patch etc. Roads are icy here, not just snow covered but whatever, my point in the link was just to show I'm not in a southern climate. That's all. Don't usually see Corvettes in the winter, I had to rub my eyes..... Get it???
Have a Merry Christmas one and all!!!!

I have a garage queen. It's never seen rain or snow, but it doesn't bother me at all to see someone driving in cold or inclement weather.
I wish I had a nickel for every person who's told me I can't "really enjoy" my car because I don't drive it that much. It gives me great joy knowing it's in my garage and that I can drive it when I choose, and not when or how someone else thinks I should be using it. We all have different likes and dislikes.
