with the crap they throw on the roads up here in Maine and all the idiots on the roads who act like they've never seen snow before... I'm afraid to take mine out of the garage too.

I look at it this way... We have 7-8 months of good roads to drive the car, we can use the off time for repairs/mods.

I just picked mine up on Wednesday and it's my DD. This car begs to be driven.

I look forward to heavy snowfalls so I can laugh at all the other motorists doing 50 in a 100 zone.

Maybe next winter, it won't seem so new anymore...
there will still be potholes in the sumer, all kinds of dirt / dead bugs and your car is still at risk of getting keyed, be it by accident or on purpose and bad drivesr all year round. So why worry so much?
