Poll: Stored or Daily Driver

Someone was curious, so I thought "lets ask!".
IF YOU LIVE WHERE IT SNOWS is your Camaro stored this winter, or is it your daily driver?

I live in the mountains of West Virginia and we get lots of snow. I drive mine every day.

Snow does not generally happen or last longer then a couple hours in Austin,Tx. Also, It's my daily driver so I would not have any choice.

When I had my Cobalt I had studded tires and used it when conditions weren't too inclement, but when we had 4' of snow on the ground and frozen burms everywhere I drove my "untidy whitey" 4x4 pickup.

My option isn't listed... I have a Mustang Cobra I have stored right now and my v6 Camaro is a daily driver. I still wash and clean it 3 times a week, but the mustang is a project, not fully streetable right now. Plus the Camaro has LSD, IRS, TC, and Stability Control. Handles really well in the snow actually... anyone seen this video?

Daily Driver. I have custom Foose wheels with stock tires for the warm months and powder coated (black) stock wheels with snow tires for the winter months.

I voted the second choice, because it is the closest to my situation. However, I do not believe that the Camaro is simply "just a car". It is something more, more than the average car. I have had it in the snow because I wanted to, and it performed beyond my expectations. Then my Tracker broke down, and I had to drive the Camaro in snow for three days. It never let me down!
