Not much snow here... use the Subaru if it gets really bad but otherwise I prefer my '88 Volvo 240--heated seats FTW!

Well, the Navy is sending me and my '87 Fiero to Hawaii, so no worries. :) But, when I'm home in Ohio I run my parents '00 Caravan. When I'm in South Dakota visiting my fiance's family, I use the '06 300C (with heated seats) or the Mercedes, but they said they'd let us dig out the Corvette for the wedding which is coming up quickly.

1993 Taurus GL. It's like your grandmother's couch on wheels.

Don't get much snow around here in NC but we sometimes do get good snow storms. I just have my '98 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71 and it does fine in snow, even if it just has street/highway tread tires on it. Every year when it starts to get cold I always test just to see if my 4x4 works. Don't want to wait until a snow storm is about to hit in 2 days, but I also check right before a snow storm just as a precaution.

3 things: 1. That Cutlass Ciera is totally Brown Car Appreciation Society material: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=53967352076 2. Trading a perfectly serviceable supercharged 00's car for a high-miles, 15 years older, 150-dollar beater? Cknarf, you are my people. 3. To answer your question, I just yesterday pulled my AMC Eagle out of storage: the ultimate snowpocalypse machine, still rolling on its snow tires from last year. Winters here are a lot more forgiving in terms of the salt and the weather. But the problem with having an awesome winter car is that you eventually regret running it as a winter car. My Eagle is showing the ravages of its five upstate NY winters, and I'm going to be undoing that damage for a long time yet.

Had to stop driving the AE85 (future Lemons race car) due to it being frosted over in the mornings. Now driving the Z71. More than doubled my gas bill, too. Lame.

I have a Corolla 2003 as a winter beater :S and boy do we get snow! But the Corolla's so high up and light it's not the best car for snow, sometimes I wish I didn't care about rust or being a snow plow with the Eclipse so I could drive that year-round XP

1988 Ranger 4x4 Lots of rust and it has a plow set up with an electric winch that's works well. The rally stickers allow it to plow quickly!

@medazzone, Your car is awesome. @ Jen, I envy your Eagle, and I totally joined that group before I had this Olds lol. Now I fit in!

Everyone! Good news! I found the trunk release! It was under the seat, with a lawnmower pull start handle and zip ties. Whatever works. Now I can get those pimp-ass wire wheel covers out of the trunk!

I've got a 1988 Jaguar XJ6. Speaking of your Grandmother's couch, this thing is exactly that. Comfortable as hell, decent on gas (31 MPG on the highway and 19 in town) and a classy ride! Not to mention the RWD makes for some nice drifts ;)

I run a 2004 Dodge Durango as my daily driver. I drive too far to work to drive the Torino everyday in the summer. Plus, the lady that parks beside me at work has dinged my door a few times. I don't mind it on the Durango, but I never want that to happen to the Torino.

For the past couple of winters I've been using my daily driven 2000 Cavalier. I just got my new daily driven 2007 Mazda 3 this Spring, so I'll get to see how it does this winter. Living in rural northwest PA is pretty fun when winter comes. I'm just excited to see how well this car is at doing reverse donuts and drifts! It's going to be hard to outdo the fun I had in my Cavalier at my old high school parking lot!

1993 Olds Cutlass Ciera 307,251.7 miles as of this writing. I'll take a "GM" front drive in the snow over anything.....anything.

Check out my 1999 Audi A6 that looks like a 2005-2010

"Hide Your Ride" LOL!! It sucks up here with the salt.... the rust definitely comes through and I can't stop it. So I just drive it hard all year :)

Sadly i have to drive the stang in winter :( its first winter... oh well hopefully i can get a beater next year

I feel for you kuzster, I have to make due through this New England winter with my GTO. This should be fun.

The Camaro. Hardly ever rains here so no snow and hardly ever any rain, if you can call it rain.

1997 Suzuki Sidekick

For all of you that are driving all year round, Especially kuzster since it's your stang's first winter, WAX THE PISS OUT OF YOUR CAR WHILE YOU STILL CAN! Lol, I'm puttin like 10 coats of turtle wax on the Cutlass tomorrow.

AZ Baby I drive mine year round.

Wicked is right AZ, 70 degree winters doesnt really effect what we drive.

No joke w/ the NY winter. We haven't had any snow yet surprisingly, but I wouldn't think for a moment we're in the clear. I've been thinking about get a "back-up" car for the season, but no room in the garage. I might just tuck the ride away and stick to good ole' NY public transportation on the harshest of conditions.

winter car? ahaha nah im not lookin to get stuck and stranded. ill just stick to my 1980 GMC High Sierra K15.

Im lookin to have fun this winter. I recently finished my 350 Astro van project. Its gonna eat!

My girlfriend's 2001 Toyota Camry LE, Mom's 2003 Dodge Caravan, and Dad's 2004 Mazda 3 (with the 5-speed manual) I like the Mazda the best ha.

I'll be running the same daily-drivers I run the rest of the year: '91 Daytona and '00 Stratus on alternating days. Both FWD, both paid-for, both not bad in snow. During the five years I was paying for the Stratus, I left it home when conditions were bad, but it's seen winter duty the past four years.

Well, my garage being full of jeeps, they all sort of drive around. but my main mode of beater-ness is my 1991 Jeep cherokee "rusty" with 141,000 miles.

Never snows here in MS. Ice on the streets sometimes and they salt it. I keep my Mustang out the whole winter and don't even change the wheels. I go to a car wash about every week though that has a under body cleaner on it to get the salt off though.

This winter I'm just going to see how my only car, a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5L w/5-speed manual, does in the snow. I'm hoping that the ESP will do the trick but If she struggles I'll consider picking up an old beater to make it through next year's winter. My only concern is leaving enough tread on those tires but that's going to take some restraint because it's too much damn fun to peel out and burn out in that thing. It does it way too effortlessly haha.

Very nice. My winter cars is my 1995 Cutlass Ciera. He has earned the nickname "Polar Express" because it has proven unstoppable in snow and ice over the past few winters. I just take off my 17's and throw on my old 14's with snow tires. This will actually be my first year with actual snow tires instead of the old Uniroyal all-seasons I had before, so I'm kinda anxious to see how much better it does.
