Default Canada 370 storage- What's your winter beater?!

If you store your baby for the cold salty winter roads of Canada, what is your secondary source of transportation?

I'm sporting a classy red dodge neon, big difference from the z but fun to drive in the snow with no worries!

My daily winter driver is a Lincoln MKX with AWD. If I need it, I also have a 96 Contour POS...

DD is my 370Z - we almost cracked 13C (56F) here today. I did keep my '99 Jeep Cheroke Larado insured for the year because I though I'd use it a fair amount in the "winter" but thankfully its been sitting lonely on the side of the road Sucks for the Oympics but its great for us 370Z drivers

I see him now and then on the way to work, but he drives way too fast for me!! At least in the Lincoln... If he is posted to Gagetown, probably won't see him around later than June...

Since the Black Cherry is garaged for the winter, my new beater is my 300 ZX TT .... unless it snows & then I just stay home.
