[QUOTE=paS2K,Nov 7 2004, 11:11 AM] I really find this approach unfathomable.

My car is not a garage queen, but I don't drive it in winter for some of the same reasons Jonas spoke of, primarily, that I want the car to last. Could I buy a new one? Sure, assuming they still make the thing in 5-10 years. But I like this one.

Mine is definity a garage queen and I purchased it knowing exactly that and what I would be using it for - mostly track/autox...since there are no more events...I see no point in driving it in the cold.

1 - Can't track with winter tires

2 - Parking lots have big hills of snow - I guess the could be REALLY big pylons...

3 - Can't have the top down

4 - No room which makes it useless for driving everyday...especially days when I have to load up some equipment.

5 - I don't want to clean it over the winter

Making the car last longer was not really part of the equation - but it is an added benefit....

I knew this would happen if we allowed car topics in the Vintage Forum. I'm going back to the political threads where it's safe.
