It breaks my heart to think that I average only about 75 miles per month on my S for the months of December, January and February. I only put on an average of about 100 miles a month in November and March.

I wonder if I am the only one whose S spends most of the winter in the garage.

I don't take it out in bad weather, and I don't like having it out when there is ice or salt on the roads. Still, I love driving top down in the very cold weather, and I'd really like to use it more.

How about you? Do you put many miles on your S in the winter?

 

Ours has been under cover 6 + weeks now. No mileage in December, very few in November, if any.

Rick won't put the cover on unless the car is clean. So unless it's warm enough to wash the car when we got back from a spin, it stays under cover. There's a ton of salt and sand on the road, so it's probably best that it stays put.

I don't expect we'll have it out again until late February, at the earliest, more than likely, it will be March.

 

Until I got ill, I drove mine every day all year long. It was truly a daily driver. I would put snow tires on in November and drive it all winter, then the SO2s back on in late April/early May once the temps were consistently above 40*.

The first winter I had the top down in the cold all the time; people thought I was nuts but I loved it. At FC04 I got a hard top from HTG and it really improved the winter utility of the car.

Unfortunately this winter I haven't driven it as much due to the illness, but I still try to get out in it as much as possible. It's filthy right now with salt and dirt, but come spring it'll clean up just nice.

The S2000, with the proper winter tires for your conditions, makes an outstanding winter car.

 

Unfortunately, I don't. Mainly because of the disgusting salt-sand-dirt-crud combination that's so generously dumped on the roads to keep us safe from ourselves. . I plan to drive it more than in previous winters though. It's supposed to be near fifty tomorrow, so I might just sneak it out of the garage.

 

Almost 0 miles in the winter. This year I was looking for oof-site storage for it to get it out of my way in the garage. I managed to fit 4 cars in the garage.

(Hey, I lived in the Rocky Mountains for a quarter century of really serious winter driving. I've earned it.)

 

Let's see. I drove to San Diego yesterday, and home today. I just put close to 400 miles on mine. It now has over 21,000 miles since I got in on November 6, 2004.

 

Drive mine all year, although not in the rain. Its been in the 70s during the day down here for almost a week.

 

Don't drive in the winter, however my +1 and I went to a benefit Christmas light show before the holidays. Put the top down when we got there, drove through the park with the top down. Temp outside 14 degrees. Great night and lots of comments.
