OK,

I admit it...... I am not representative of the norm, but I sure do.

My car stays parked far more from mid-May until Mid- September, than it does during the winter months. Here in North Carolina between the heat, humidity, constant threat of thunderstorms/hail, rain, bugs, etc it's just makes for a poor driving driving experience.

Winter (usually means) highs in the upper 40's to low 60's with low dew points, predictable weather, no insects, etc. is a joy. It's just so much better making big power in cool air, enjoying the windows down or at least cracked, and you can take the car out for a long drive without hundreds of bugs decorating your front end.

Ok lets hear your take on it

I can't argue with your logic. I'd probably do the same. Up here in the North we don't have good weather in the winter.

I don't really like to drive the car whne it gets hot and humid here. Problem is the car is put away from Nov - April. So you take what you can get in the driving season.

verts are fun to drive in the summer. so, i drive mine a lot whenever its sunny out because here in the nw, the weather is unpredictable.

I think it's a southern thing. I def prefer driving in the 40-80* weather. When it's 90* and humid as balls it's no fun to drive. Especially when it doesn't even cool off at night.

That is indeed good logic. With that being said, I drive the piss out of mine in the summer. However, if it is a really really hot day, I rather not take it out.

Only had my terminator a month but I certainly did enjoy driving my GT a lot more during the winter months. I have a feeling I'll have more fun driving the vert on summer nights.

I drive mine alot since it's my DD and it doesn't really snow in Houston but the summer here is horrible. It's always humid as hell and it doesn't even cool at all at night. So yes, i still drive it but i try to minimize it.
