I have no garage and keep my S2000 out in the parking lot all winter (that's because I drive it). When the large snow hits, I use the winter beater MX6 Turbo and simply remove the snow from the convertible top where if left to sit, will harden and weigh down the hood (not good). After a real good Nor'easTA and the wait until the roads have been cleared, I'll keep the snow built up on the hood and trunk to add weight just in case she wants to spin getting out from under her snow shadow. Once I'm in the middle of the parking lot, I'll remove the rest of the snow and hit the streets where all has since been removed or melted away. It doesn't stay on the streets for very long up here. Getting out of the driveway is the hard part. But the MR2 Spyder...well, that thing was INCREDIBLY difficult to move with snow underfoot...thank goodness it only weighed 2068-lbs...hell, even my girlfriend could rock me out of my tire tracks with that car!

Haha, after seeing this thread, I decided to go make sure my baby was safe. What's funny is it's in garaged parking at my work and not snowing. I know it sounds pathetic, but I had to check to make sure.

im soooo happy my car is inside the garage! it's just too bad that theres no way to get the car out of my garage considering that theres about a good 4' of snow covering the entrance!! damn fool who plowed my parking lot decided to leave the snow in front of everyone's garage door! im gonna have to go buy a shovel and dig my garage out.

it was our first white christmas in nyc since 1969! http://www.wnbc.com/weather/1855679/detail.html

My S2000 is in the garage for the winter, unless its a real nice day. My wife's Accord sits outside, and it had over 2 feet of snow on its roof. You could not see the car except the very end of one mirror. It was the biggest one day snow storm on record. With that much snow my car may not see the road for a long while.
