I'm thankful that I have the accommodations necessary so i don't have to let my cars sit outside unprotected. My cars do get wet and dirty from recreational driving and long distance trips, but aren't exposed to environmental extremes when not in use.

Agreed. No matter where you live, there are elements that can deteriorate cars. Out here in SoCal we don't have the rust but the sun sure can fade paint and clear coats over time! It also seems rubber cracks out here.. I like keeping cars and equipment covered when possible.

my only real problem was how deep the tracks where in roads. I never liked using my air dam as a plow. some times you just had to dirt track the car. the ASR did its job most of the time.

I used to ride My German Shepherd “Dixie” around in My 2004 Vert. We were looking for Chicks and Dog Dudes. People couldn’t believe I had a Dog in a “Vette”!!!
Still don’t understand why it mattered.

That's the winning answer!!! It is just a car. I don't put it to sleep when the weather gets cold. While I normally don't drive it in the rain I've been caught in a few storms. Snow will keep keep it parked because as someone already has noted I don't want to use the air dam as a plow.

I only have a one car garage and with my work table and a couple of shelving units for supplies and tools there is no room for a car. With that said I keep the 95 clean and waxed on a regular basis and knowing it is not an appreciating "investment" I enjoy driving it all year long.

To be honest I always get a chuckle when someone selling a C4 has "never seen rain".in the description.

We get very little snow in western Colorado's high desert. Usually a few inches over night, melts by noon. My main worry about driving in snow is all the idiots I share the road with. I even hate to expose my beater to the a holes.
