where I live have no problem of winter, but since I am living in School far away from my home and my S2000, I can only drive my S2000 in winter break, Spring break, and Summer , So my S2000 is not only parked for Winter but also for Fall and Spring.

(I doubt it I will finish break in the engine of my 02 before June...)

Winter is no problem for my S 2000 - considering it is now my primary transportation. I live in San Antonio, TX - Go figure. It is very cold here and my car doesn't like the cold WX.

I wouldn't consider driving it to Telluride though

In Denver, CO the snow is usually melted off the streets within a few days. I drive it when I can. The bad thing is the rocks (not pebbles, ROCK!) in the road.

My car is my primary transportation until next year so I drive it rain, snow, ice, or sun. The only time I don't drive it is if my wife is home. And I think it handles fine in the snow, just keep it slow. I have never had a problem with RWD in snow. In fact, in more than a few circumstances the side of the road has been littered with AWD, 4WD and FWD and I've just kept motoring along with nary a problem.

I drive mine as well during the winter. We have pleny of days when the roads are dry. Sometimes I even get to drive with the top down.Now THAT'S a treat and a half.
