Got a 99 Durango ( piece of s#$t) but it's paid for so I'm keeping it. My wife have an 03 CRV. Although I do drive my C5 in winter on really dry days with no snow on the forecast and no salt on the road.

my 97 is now my DD- I had a truck prior but decided the vette got way better gas milage, and it's paid for! Lets hear it for NO CAR PAYMENTS!!!!!!! 
However; it does make it that much more difficult to mod as it needs to be ready to drive my behind to work on Mondays!
only downside to it really...
Upside, well I get to drive a vette to work every day! not a lot of people can say that!

We have a 04 6.0 Excursion with an Airaid intake, 4" exhaust and a hand held tune-a 05 Forerunner V8 with an after market intake and a 3" dynomax exhaust. We live in northern Arizona and almost impossible to drive Corvette on a daily basis here in the winter. 44" of snow in 5 days last January.
