*raises hand* I'm right there with ya.
Snow, rain, wind, dry, heat, sleet, flurries, sunny, etc...
BTW...an empty parking lot with snow is the best combo. WOO HOO!

I wish I could winter park, I managed to do it the first year I had it, but now I drive year round. I feel kinda bad having it out in the weather, but the mild attention it gets makes it worthwhile to represent.

I'm torn between getting a set of winter treads for mine or taking it off the road to fix the rust already present. Probably end up driving it this winter, then repairing the cancer next winter.. after I get a rear skirt and side aprons.. only have to paint it once that way... he he

I drive my 7 year around as San Diego is good for it. In a few months there will be snow within an hours drive east, mountains less than an hour north..beaches 15 minutes away. The only drawback is being in commuter traffic during the week.

I got my 85 GS for the purpose of driving in the winter months! I normally ride my motorcycle everyday. When it gets this cold, sport bikes aren't much fun (26 degrees now) And if there is ANY frost on the road, forget about it! So, I have a set of studded tires for the car, and I'll probably look for some heavy weight to put in the back, like maybe a large water blivit or something....

I drove the 1984 I used to own two years ago in the winter, but I don't use the Mariah. I also have a family car (Mazda 626, don't know the name for that model in the US), so that's the one that goes out in snow or bad weather.
They use plenty of salt during the winter months, and it wouldn't do much good to the car...

OK, just thought they'd be called different in the US. Seems not. Still like the Seven more, but I guess that's a stupid statement, since I wouldn't be on the forum otherwise :-)

I have owned mine since April and have only driven it once legally. So you could say mine is up for the winter! Actually until I finish the suspension overhaul, exhaust, and cooling system. Mine will be off the road. But it will never see winter again as long as I own it.

Here in san diego the weather is not a problem. really you could say that san diego doesn't have weather it's paradise on earth. To answer the question , yes, i could drive my 7 all year-round.

Mine gets driven all year round, Our weather is very mild though compaired to some places.
Althought currently I cant drive it in the rain or at night, because my alternator is bust so the battery goes flat REAL quick with any accessories on.

I pretty much do... I have a truck I drive the rest of the time, but I drive the 7 whenever I feel like..
Of course I live in TX. It's supposed to be about 70 and sunny here today.
