Exactly. Unfortunately I don't have the resources to enjoy the luxury of two cars. The 370z will be perfectly fine in Chicago for probably 355 days of the year. For the remaining "bad" snow days, I'll have a set of winter tires or I can borrow my in-law's jeep or take a taxi (probably worse than snow tires in the 370z).
Manual transmissions are historically beneficial in snow...anyone who knows how to handle one appropriately will be a safer driver than a corresponding automatic transmission driver.
