Default Drive my 2002 GT Grand Prix in winter months

Original owner of my '86 Vette Convertible. 154K on
2 engine rebuilds. Many engine mods. Used for weekend pleasures only. Drive it perhaps twice a month in the winter months (only when the roads are clear).
In the spring and summer...I only take the Vette out when the top can be lowered.
I just ordered Torq Thruster II's (17") which should arrive about the middle of December...so I'm getting it ready for the next 20 years of its life...and hopefully mine too.

How about you?
I have a 2002 Chevy Tracker. It only has 55k on it but it is still a piece of junk. I don't believe it will ever see the inside of my garage. My daughter will drive it come spring, when I can again, drive the Vette. I also use it to pull our pontoon boat in the summer months. Since we got the Corvette though, the boat doesn't get much use and will probably get sold this spring.

For 3 years, I drove an old 92 Chevy 4X4 during the winter months.. I just upgraded to an 01 F250 SD - I'm loving this thing!

Oh my, it looks like I'm the only one---don't laugh--I drive an '01 PT Cruiser, 5 mt. In its favor, it hauls a lot of stuff inside (with or without the seats). Not much punch or power, but it does have a K&N FIPK and a Borla for noise purposes.
