Default Drive my S2000 or not?

Ok.. What would you do if you are in this situation?

You are taking on a temporary assignment away from home for 5 months. Assignment is 800 miles away and you won't be driving the S2K until 2.5 months. S2k is park out on the public parking space with no protection. After 2.5 month, you are allowed to drive only on the weekend. Would you drive your car to temp assignment or leave the S2K in the garage at home?

Leaving the S2K at home meaning you don't have transportation and have to rely on other people.

What would you do? I'm leaning toward leaving the S2K at home. I would go nuts worrying about my baby sitting out in public parking and foul weather.

This is the part that would bother me. The car was meant to be used, I think I'd take it. Tough call. Good luck.

By the way, its not "only a car", its a very special car, but it was meant to be driven.
