All year round for me. This will be my first winter in the Focus, I'm curious to see how agressive the traction control is when the snow files (I already know the seat heaters are nice used 'em last night on the ride home after helping a friend put their Stunbird back together.... AGAIN! <_< )

I drive both the cars year round and spend the rest of my time making fun of people who park a Ford Focus for the winter like it is some exotic Italian sports car or something.

I'm just curious if the winter will make my nice shiny exhaust pipes not so shiny any more.... As well parking my car in the winter will help keep the mileage off it! That is why I might get a beater, but I'm still undecided as of yet.

15 winters will go on soon and will drive the car all year around, I'm actually looking into the winter, Im tired of 17 low profiles, too hard a ride. Cant wait for the 15's to go back on

I do. I didn't pay $25k to have it sit around like a pile of cold shat all winter...

We drive both the ZTW and Marauder through the winter with snows/wheels. I've had a few winter beaters in the past, and I'd rather drive my real car all year and not have to worry about it starting, leaking fluids, passing emissions, or general repairs for a shitbox.
Plus I was the worst driver when I didn't care about the pail I was driving! The question should be 'Who doesn't drive their car all year?'.
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.

I bought this car because my old car wouldnt have made it through another winter.. so not driving this thing during the winter would sort of defeat the purpose, eh :P
Now I'm just wondering if my tires will be good enough for another winter, or if I should look for a set of steelies and winter rubber..

mines driven all year round... the 15's are going back on sometime in nov probably
Life's good... Hockey's better
