I drive ours when the conditions are right, but seldom take it to work. I have an '03 Impala Sport Edition to commute my 54 miles per day to work. Besides, where I park, we build US Navy destroyers, and once in a while the wind carries microscopic size paint overspray north to my parking lot, and Zaino or not, it is not easy to get off the paint. So, I'd rather have to clay bar my black Impala than the SSR. The other option, which I do when I treat myself to driving either the SSR or the Vette to work is to cover it, but that ends up being a hassle. I get alot of comfort knowing I own it and that it is sitting pretty, and covered, and clean and shiny, in her heated garage. I look forward to special weekend rides with the wife, using the "let's go get ice cream" excuse that ALWAYS works well. She has never been "into" vehciles but the SSR, technically "hers", is turning out to be an appropriate exception. Living in Maine driving it daily would not be prudent as our roads have lots of salt and calcium for the winter besides lots of dirt and gravel remnants of storms requiring sanding. Same goes for the 50th Anniv. Vette, the SSR's stable-mate. It comes with the territory of living in the North but as mentioned I find lots of comfort and enjoyment knowing it's sitting there waiting for us to have that right time and conditions to enjoy.
