With the colder weather moving in for most of us, I am curious to know when most S2000 drivers decide to stop driving their car. The weather around here has been in the 50-60F range and I'm still driving when it's not raining out. I definitely won't be driving once the snow hits but I'm thinking I may not be driving once the weather drops below 40F either. Fortunately for me, I have a garage to keep the car safe all winter. So, at what point, if any, do you guys decide to stop driving your cars?

 

I never drive mine in rain or snow or ice. But I drive it once a week or two or on weekends throughout the year. I just threw on the hardtop for good until spring time... But yeah, I couldn't bear to put mine in storage. That would be torture!

 

It's over once the salt hits the roads.

I never stop, but I live in the south and winter is like two months long and we may get snow once or twice.

 

Just moved to southern Virginia from northern Ohio so not sure about this year.

As noted above once the first speck of salt or brine hits the road she goes in the garage for the winter. Even before salt time note that summer tires don't work well once the temp gets below 50°F (40°F ?) -- and some can be damaged by cold temperature -- but the the center heater position does help the driver.

That's a good point about the summer tires Chuck. My car currently has high performance all-seasons so no worries for now. But I do plan on upgrading to dedicated high performance summer tires.

 

Usually around the time I put my snows on the other cars. Which is when overnight temps start hitting the 30's. I store it about 1 mile from my house so once I drop it off I walk back home and I have no interest in doing that when it's 20's out haha... It's being dropped off there next week.

 

Here in New Hampshire, I drive mine until the salt hits the roads, then it goes into hibernation.

Drove it to work today, top down, 33 degrees outside.

Have to take advantage of any nice days in this part of the country because once it goes into
storage, it is there 5-6 months.

 

No salt or brine in California. Snow only if you drive to where it is.

Stop driving? Year round in the most beautiful state to drive in the United States? This state was made for the S not counting the urban areas. Thankfully, there is a reason I don't choose to live in one. (As long as you don't mind the politics)

 

As far as roads made for the S, my humble opinion is that Vermont is second to none. Especially mid September to mid October.
I'll drive my S in good weather until the salt hits the roads. Won't be too much longer. Good weather is less common now so I am driving my truck quite a bit as well.
