It's your car, your money. Do as you please. 
If I didn't have the finances to put multiple vehicles in my garage, I wouldn't own a Camaro or a Corvette due to the harsh, snowy winters in PA. IMHO, you don't buy a pair of pliers to drive a nail.
To each their own.  |
Where I live in Wisconsin, the plows don't let snow build up more than a few inches. With Sottozeros, I've been able to get through/out of the company parking lot without issues. I can keep up, or drive faster than traffic with confidence in how the car handles.
I bought one new performance car that I watched depreciate significantly while sitting parked and under a cover. No more.
I drive a Camaro every day because I can afford another car. My wife has a CUV for practical needs. My Camaro is my personal commuter car.
Its actually fun to drive a V8, RWD in the snow, rain, whatever and not care if it gets dirty. Its a cool, fun car that I'll use up and then get another.
