So I have four Cars. If I was just driving around town, the G would have been just fine. But I drive 50 miles each way to work on the highway and during the winter,, I don't want to rish hurting my baby

91Accord, Modified so much it doesn't handle the 100mile drive each day
95 Honda Civic, Its going to be a drag car
00 GMC Jimmy. Now my primary DD and will be my winter car as it has 4WD
04 G35.

I drive my G and my CBR 1000RR about the same. I love both. We don't get any snow here is Sacramento and its typically dry here, so I can ride the bike all year long as well as drive the G.

My G35 was my daily driver for almost a year. My sister gave me her 94 Honda Civic and now its my daily driver. I drive the G once a week to work and on the weekends.

My G is the daily driver, have a Maxima that I'll prob be selling soon and am getting a 1990 Jeep Cherokee to use as my winter car when it snows and for when I need to take my dog somewhere/hauling random crap.

driver her all day every day

I'm not one of those ppl that buy cars to store them in the garage.

Even If I would have $ to get my self a Veron I would still drive that thing every day.

I have an 03 Durango for a beater, and use the G just about every 2/3 times a week when I just need to drive to work and not haul anything.

If you want a beater I'd suggest getting and SUV, those things are solid and safe in an accident. I had an 06 Xterra and it was a nice SUV, I got rid of it because I found that the seats were uncomfortable and it didn't have enough space to load cargo in it, other than that is was great!!

If you don't want to go with an SUV you can always get a nice sedan or station wagon. My wife has a passat wagon and the cargo space is AWESOME, almost just as good as the durango.

Good luck!!

I'm not sure what constitutes a "real winter", but I live just north of NY City, and we do have winter. Pirelli snowsports on separate rims have gotten my 03 6MT through 4 winters with no problems. Of course, our roads are plowed, but that still usually leaves a couple of inches of packed snow. This car with snow tires handles better than any front driver with all seasons that I've ever driven in snow.

she's my daily driver until the winter snow comes,then she's in the garage. I guess winter in my terms is when it starts to snow and ice here in D.C. and if any one is from this area, you know folk can NOT drive under those conditions. (any conditions for that matter lol)

Where I live a "real winter" is when I have to shut my MD IsoTherm coolant valve

Which is basically never.
