I store mine for two reasons...
One, living in Alaska means really brutal, long winters. Our roads are often sloppy, slippery, and salted. I would have zero opportunity to enjoy the horsepower, and plenty of opportunity to run the risk of salt damage.
Two, I don't trust other drivers. Even though I feel I am a safe driver when the snow falls, I don't pretend that everyone else is. The likelihood of me being hit by some bozo not paying attention during the wintertime, is sufficiently higher than during the summertime, for me to not risk taking my Vette out. A lot of folks here CANNOT drive to save their lives, in the wintertime. I prefer them to hit my truck, if they're going to hit me at all.

While we don't get a lot of Snow/Ice around here mine Sleeps from November till March.I have a Beater to drive during the Winter months because people around these parts CAN'T drive on Snow or Ice and the Salt/sand mix they put on the roads aren't Vette friendly.
