Not sure if you want to keep the North of the border, but I'll throw in my :2cents: . I have an omni for when I'm going anywhere, I have a Sy for going nowhere. My Sy is not used for transportation, just for "spirited driving sessions"

Re: Who is out there?

Hehehehe, mine is parked at the end of my driveway, no steering box, so I can't even tow it down to the shop... perhaps I'll go put that in now.

No engine in it yet, but I did get everything back from the machine shop yesterday, and assembly starts now!

As long as my Buick holds up, I'll drive that during the winter.

I haven't parked mine yet, even though last night was the first time I drove it in the last few weeks, I'll probably park it for winter within the next week. But I am have thoughts of driving it year round. :roll:

I'm really thinking about selling my Camaro here soon, so you might not be the only one. :D

Re: Who is out there?

I have a beater to use daily but last time I insured the Sy, I went for a full year so I'll probably drive it here and there over the winter but not much. I'm thinking I need a new fuel pump before I drive much more though.

My Ty is my only vehicle right now. I haven't driven it since last December, and won't likely drive it again until next Spring.

My black TY doesn't get out much. But my green Ty was my DD till it broke. :( If it was running, I'd be driving it till they put salt on the roads, then it would go into the barn till spring rains washed the salt away.

Do they use a lot of salt on the roads up there? Sometimes it seems there is more salt on our roads than snow!

They don't use salt out here in Alberta, if they do it's very little anyway.

The last few years they have been spreading rock chips :roll: I'm sure the windshield people and bodyshops are wringing thier collective hands over that one.

Re: Who is out there?

Mine gets driven between the garage and the car port mostly since the inspection sticker has been dead for ~2yrs now. I was feeling criminal/lucky a few weeks ago and drove it a couple hours down I-81 and back to test some trans work with the dump open, expired tags, dead inspection sticker, etc just for the hell of it. For once I didnt even see a cop let alone get pulled over :shrug: .

Other than sitting at home or annoying the neighbors every couple of weeks or so when I take it to the local car wash to get the bird poop (car ports suck), lady bugs, and cob webs washed off it I dont drive it much at all :( .

Like Tony I wonder at times why I even own it but then again I cant part with it either.....

They don't use salt in AK. There is a chemical they spray on the streets that sort-of melts the snow and ice. Aside from that, they just spread dirt on the roads. There is always enough ice/snow left on the roads in the winter that you can't see pavement though.

Re: Who is out there?

Right this minute the Sy is up on jack stands for a front driveline inspection and a small water leak. Otherwise, usually, during winter here in northern Cal it still gets driven once or twice a month on good days just to see if everything turns.

After a slew of trips down the 1/4 mile this year it needs a little TLC so this winter I have a list of minor mods/upgrades to do before next spring which will curtail the usual fun so we’ll see.
