How do you northern guys do it?

I used to have an '07 350Z Roadster that I kept covered in the garage from December through March because of the snowy winters here in CT. I also had a Toyota Matrix that I drove as a daily driver. After 3 years owning the Z, I couldn't justify paying for a car that sat in the garage for 3 months out of the year so I traded it for a MazdaSpeed3 and sold the Matrix. The MS3 is no Z and I craved to have a Z again and kicked myself for getting rid of it. I ended up trading my MS3 for the '09 370Z after having the MS3 for just 4 months. It was the best decision I ever made! I love my 370Z, drive it as my DD, and don't plan on parting with it until the wheels fall off! As far as winter goes, it is a concern because it's an hour drive to work and the winter can get pretty bad in CT but I'll work around it. I'll most likely get snow tires but I figure if the weather is too bad, I'll just take the day off. Bottom line....drive it and enjoy it. Life is too short! Who knows what tomorrow will bring!
