ATM I am driving mine, my crappy Mini-van is well crapped out and I refuse to put money into it!

Once I sell this house I may buy a used truck for winter.

I'm storing it untill spring. Goes in the garage soon so I can work on some mods for spring time. It should come out looking like a differant car. Can't wait! I'll be buying a cheap 4door 4x4 for the family to get around in for the winter.

I have a beater. The winters here in the Poconos are brutal. I too hate driving stick in the snow. I am also going to use the time to do some mods. I prob will drive it, but just when the weather permits it.

I thought about storing it for the winter and just driving my beater but then I got to thinking that this is a 20k dollar FWD economy car with a supercharger and storing it is kind of rediculous. So I am going to drive it unless the weather gets real rough then I will just park it and drive the old dodge around until the snow is gone.

i'm driving it always, don't care what the conditions are... it's not a ferari, it's a sub 20k car... no point in storing it unless do to snow you are literally unable to drive it... but last winter, i pulled out of parking spots no problem without plowing, and the trucks couldn't budge...
