    None of the above? DC is half-way between snow and sun. We're more of a rain/ice/flurry location. My criteria for driving - whenever I want to. For top down, I generally go with nothing falling out of the sky and +/- 50 degrees. I'm working on a rotation schedule to make sure my Rambler ('64 American covertible) gets equal time.

      John, I'm none of the above too. Like Sealy, I try to drive at least weekly and in fair weather (no rain, snow, or ice). That could be a weekend, a couple of days for work, or both. It's more fun than the Durango.

        Only on the weekends when the weather is good. In eight years, it has never seen rain!

          None of the above for me as well. I don't drive every day (retired) and I seldom go anywhere unless I have to. If it's nice I'll take one of the T-Birds or the Shelby. If I have to go out and the weather isn't great, good ole' Gus the Expedition is my choice.

              Took the poll as a sun country driver but none of the above fits alot better. Like Elle, don't drive it every day so don't consider it a "daily" driver but it is my main transportation whenever I need to drive someplace.

                None for me either. It was my daily driver for the first 3 years, now I am retired and don't drive that much. I have other cars too, so now it mostly sits except for special occasions TBird gatherings.

                  I switch between the Bird and the Caddy.Try to give them equal time.Today there's heavy rain so the Caddy is vehicle of choice

                    None of the above. With two vehicles, it depends on the reason for the trip, and more importantly, what the weather is like. The BIRD has NEVER been in rain. Oh, such pampering!!

                        None of the above here also. My daily driver is a "company car". The 'Bird gets driven year round when we want to, more in warmer weather of course.

                          Gord, I am not sure about knowing "Cousin Carl," but if he is related to you, I am sure he is a great guy!

                            I drive mine as often as possible. Never in bad weather although it has seen rain on trips and on every event it's been to. Like one poster, I wash it promptly if it gets dirty, etc.

                              Up until last week-end my bird had never seen the rain(well as long as I have owned it). My daughter and new son in law asked to use it for their wedding. It poured down rain. No damage done because of many coats of wax.. Rain beeded up nicely and no leaks around the hard top. Life is good..
