storing it I dont really feel like tearing the fascia off this winter. They never clean or salt my road to work. So im either plowing through snowbanks or driving on a skating rink.

Driving it, but only when the streets are clear of snow, ice, and salt.
Otherwise it's the wife's Uplander.

Both, the cobalt, and the GTO get driven throughout the Winter. The GTO does a great job of plowing also...lol

Storing it. I already have 36k miles on it in 13months so its more of a keep miles off of it thing. But I also hate the gravel and the salt.

parking it , i still have a 3.1 sunbird beater from my z28 daily driver days . Drove my 02 Z24 year round and had a ice chunk from a truck knock the front bumper extention right off. Kinda tough to dodge all the big ice build up's that fall off cars and trucks in the snow belt south of buffalo ny.

I won't be driving mine if there's snow or a wet salty brine on the road. If it's dry and there's no chance of snow/ice, I'll take it out. I've got a 100 mile round trip to work and it costs nearly $20 per day to drive the truck so I'll take the balt any chance I can get............but I won't risk bathing it in salt water

Banzai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

My SS is my daily driver , so it will be driven no matter what the weather is . Put snow tires on , and its really a blast to play in the snow . I got around like a 4x4 last year Keep it washed once a week and shell still be looking new in the spring .

Hopefully my Z28 will be done by summer , so I can give the Cobalt a nice long break then .

Driving mine. Got some nice albeit small 16" aluminum wheels. I know my sunfire drove some good in the snow, i bet this one is just as good. You can pull some nice e/brake mooves when your used to it. I mean I LOVE my car, but it's still all in all a cobalt. I look at 2 of my buddies stock SI parked for the winter, and iam like WTF>???
