Got a 2007 Legacy GT sedan and it's awesome for our winters.

I usually park the Vette in Sept or Oct sometime, not necessarily due to weather but because I start chasing tail.... the brown, furry, 4-legged white tail buck I switch driving duties to my '10 Avalanche which may become a '13 Avalanche since the General is done making them this year Sad, I love that friggin vehicle. Utility of a truck, ride of a suburban

Just bought a 2001 54,000 mile Jeep Cherokee sport yesterday.I love that straight 6 in it,good for probably 300,000 anyway, and it's like a tank as far as bumping into things...and I have a 2007 Lincoln Town car sig.limited too.

2008 Mercedes E350 4-matic, and a 2011 GL450. Then there is always the 1997 Nissan Maxima. The Corvettes get stored in November.

Husband has the ML350, but like the car better. November by me is too late to store the car..I got caught in a snowstorm last October, which is why I call it the "RedSled"
