Unless you hate your car, why would drive it in winter? Fair heat and salt eating it to nothing are two big reasons my car will never see winter again. Plus I got rid of my winter tires and replaced them with slicks, so I won't be tempted.

I POWERWASH MINE AFTER EVERY TRIP NO MATTER WHAT TIME OR TEMP IT IS OUTSIDE... THAT AND A COAT OF OIL/WD-40 WORKS MIRACLES AT KEEPING THE SALT OFF... BESIDES IT HANDLES BETTER THAN MY F350 XL SUPER DUTY, AND ITS MORE FUN....

I drove my 78 Malibu for 10 years all year round the last 2 I have let it set because it is rotting away from me at a highly quick rate :(

because it's a blast driving it in the winter. When I dove mine it was nice to be able to drift around corners and the cops never said anything. Try that in the summer and you'll pay the price. Plus the G body with posi, 4 snow tires and weight in the trunk they will go places a fwd won't make it.
This man speaks the truth. My cutlass is rarely going straight when it's snowing. Plus the cutlass flies under the radar better than my buddies cars when it's time for fun in the snow.

my 83 malibu rotted out to the point where the frame couldnt hold the rear bumber on... now its tied on with wire... poor old faithful "patriot", she served me well, she hasnt acted the same since i bought my mcss, i think her just seeing the monte in the driveway angered her... (yes, i speak of my cars as if they are people, they have attitudes to match)
