No. As long as it's not bad, wet weather, I will drive my car. I like the cold, hate the intense heat here in Texas.

My previous vehicle was exposed to all elements. Now I have a garage for the car, and the only time it will be subject to the elements will be when I'm driving and can't cover it, or am somewhere I can garage it.

I noticed last winter that the tires break loose a helluva lot easier in the cold though. Almost totaled my shit just getting on the highway, wasn't even showing off. Scared the hell out of me.

It's that one day of light snow we get and everyone forgets how to drive.

Hell yeah they do. You gotta respect a big power car in the cold. It will bite you in the ass with a quickness on cold pavement!

LOL, I'm the complete opposite of you. Growing up in southern California winter time is low 50's, sunny with an ocean breeze making it a lil chilly requiring a sweatshirt. Still wore shorts year round. ( I do mostly here too lol)

The coldest part of the year here is enough for me, I don't need that madness you had back there in Alaska! lol.

That is no shit right there. A lil ice on the road and the city practically shuts down!
