Winter car
Sold my winter car a few days ago. Starting to think I should have kept it. Drive the Camaro on nice days and my cash car on rainy days. Any one out there keep a cheap cash car around to drive when the weather ain't so nice?

bmw m5,porsche 911,cayenne , c63amg,audi s8 are all running in the rain..and some in snow too..
find yourself another beater, what can i say? life is too short not to enjoy the car of your dreams even when it's raining. just imagine going with your beater on a hot muggy day.. no a/c windows all fogged up sweating like a pig for that restaurant date... take the camaro full a/c comfy and stay fresh..sound like a women add lol! anyway you get my point. each to his own like they say.. |

^ WTF?
As to the OP's question, I thought about selling the beater as well, but I'd be in the same position the following Winter. So I'm keeping the Blazer at least another season.

It was ninety nine cents!

I keep my 1997 Jeep Wrangler for the winter months.
I drive my SS from march to november. Until it snows. I drive it in the rain, I drive it early season when the roads still have a little crap on them. I wash it religiously. (as in, every time I drive it during the march/april salt and muck fest in NY. No point in having a nice car and not driving it because it's "wet outside" It's not a show car, its a 430 horsepower permagrin inducing beast whose existence is solely to make me feel and act like a 16 year old. But I keep up with the maintanance, wash, wax, detail spray. I'll be doing a clay and polish late springtime this year also. Gotta put in the work if you want to play and still look pretty I suppose.

I have a 2009 GMC Sierra Crew Cab that is going to be my "winter beater" once the Camaro gets here in a couple of weeks. The truck will be used for moving stuff, etc.

Yes, Camaro sits in a dry garage from November till April, plus I work around car hating libtards, so I can't drive it to work without getting a nasty note or worse.

Dream Big, Work Hard....

I have taken good care of my '99 Oldsmobile Alero, which I have had since I was a sophomore in high school (approximately 9 years). Still runs like a champ, that is my winter car/daily driver. The Camaro is my occasional daily driver/weekend car.
 Also gives me a multi-car discount on insurance!

We have a 2002 Ford Escape that I keep on the road year round. We do DD the Camaro rain or shine from April till the snow flies. We use the Escape as a grocery getter or when I need to transport my dogs in the summer. It's also nice to have a third car around if one of the main cars needs to be in the shop.

For snow, crappy weather, crappy areas, crappy parking, etc I drive my Jeep Liberty 4x4. For fun, I drive the Camaro.

Yup, Prius is the daily driver. Until 300k I hope. Camaro @19mpg is just for nice days and special occasions - but boy do those days really count!
Woudn't have it any other way.
