dbtk2 Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 I bought my TSTE in December of '03, and that winter of course i drove it all winter (as it was my first car and i had no choice). In October of '04 the day after I bought a beater (so I could store it) the trans went out, and I was therefore forced to store it. This winter I can't really drive my T/A in the winter so I kinda have to drive the STE, even though the STE is a much nicer car. Hopefully by next winter I'll be able to store it again. My dad drives his TGP as his daily driver and stores his GTP in rain/snow. Shawn Quote
Regalblue Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 Up until now my Lumina was my DD. This winter I'll be driving my Colorado though. Quote
runt Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 Prix is my Daily. It's a nice car, but nothing too special so it's no big deal to drive it like that I guess. Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 i only drive the Lumina in the summer time so i chose stored since she is for half the year Quote
3carz34 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Summer car!!!! She will only come out in the winter in an extreme emergency!!! BRIAN 92-Z-34 FFP stuff so far Quote
slick Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Daily driver. Though, I do want to pick up a beater. Quote
blackbombshell95 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 i have a 99 prizm for my daily driver. Quote
Euro Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 woot prizm!! since ihave the garage during the winter months...i drive my rents cars as much as i can..so its kinda stored Quote
Regal_GS_1989 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 I park my GS in the Winter cause i want to keep it for as long as i can, plus, with the small amount of rust that has started behind the ground effects, winter would be hell for it. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 90 TGP is stored, pretty much all year. 94 Cutlass is a daily driver. 89 Cutlass is stored during winter mainly because my truck's 4x4 gets around a lot better in bad weather, not to mention I sold its factory wheels and 18's aren't going to get around very well in snow anyway. I like the W's too much to consider them beaters. Quote
GP1138 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 My car is going to be a winter car no matter what, since we've got no other. Quote
5speedz34 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 So long as I can get a place to store my car, I'm going to be fixing up the cutty and driving that as my daily/winter car. Quote
fastbird232 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Daily driver, but I'm always on the lookout of a cheap four-door so I can take the GTP off the road and fix the rocker panels before they completely rust out. Quote
Bake82 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Will drive my cutty in rain, in the summer, but once the snow flies it gets stored in my garage and my sunfire gets driven then. In the summer I use both sunfire and cutlass, mostly cutlass as it has A/C. Next summer however cutlass won't see much use as I'll be putting the 5 speed I'm getting into it! Quote
ShockTherapy Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 i only have enough money for one car.... hence the Daily driver... Quote
ZoomZoomFan Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 My car is my only car and is/will be a daily driver after I get my liscense. Then it will still be a daily driver when I find a 3.1 or 3100 Beretta for a project. Quote
supreme_style21 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 Why store a 3,000 dollar car. Perhaps if I had a 95 thousand dollar car, sure. This thing is driven until the wheels fall off. Its washed before the snowfall and then in the spring. Otherwise its covered in salt and road debris. Never had a problem with rust. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 If you drive your car in the rain then there's no reason to be afraid of snow. It's the same thing. When/if SALT is thrown all over the ground THAT is when you need to worry about rust problems. Quote
john99gtp Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 yea, but up here, they use liquid salt :/ GG new england Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 yea, but up here, they use liquid salt :/ GG new england Regular salt turns to "liquid" after anyways, same deal. :thumbdown: That's why the bottem of my car is covered in oil right now, cause I don't want it to end up like my 88 GP did. Quote
john99gtp Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 that and 98% of this board would shoot me if i drove the TGP in the winter and they throw the liquid stuff down before any snow storm, so the roads salty before the snow even hits Quote
AWeb80 Posted October 9, 2005 Report Posted October 9, 2005 take a guess Ya, take a guess here too..... I got my Honda Hatchback to drive.....37.8 mpg on teh last tank. Quote
