Not every day - but most days I get my fix of PermaGrin(TM) 
Won't drive it in very heavy rain (stock GY RF do NOT stick in rain!), snow, ice or salt/sand.
Otherwise - every chance I get, I drive it!!

<edit> I do have a DD as well, but I love driving the Vette so much that the DD has only seen a few hundred miles since I bought the Vette 2 months ago!!!

Mine's a DD. Once the snow is more than 2" deep, I commandeer the wife's DD. Only had to resort to that 3 times last winter. When this C5 wears out, I'm getting me a new C6.

I just got mine in August, so it has not seen an entire winter yet, but it will. It's my daily driver no matter what the weather. The only time I won't drive it would be if the snow was too high for the front to clear it.

Not me. To much salt around here and putting it away let's me go over the whole car and do mods. Spring hits, and I am as eager to get it out as when I first bought the car.

Mines not a DD but I do drive mine year round. They were calling for a chance of snow today and I was out driving around and wasnt worried about it. I will NEVER drive it with 2+" of snow on the around - heck, I scrape everywhere now w/o any of the white stuff laying around.

With my '99 I did. And for the first year of my '00 I did. Now I have a daily driver so I don't have to do that.
