i love all my cars, but i am not scared to mess them up.. the only "driving" car i owned (in the decade it was made) that i did not drive in winter was my r32, not because i was scared to drive it, but because i didnt want all the other people to hit me.. plus i lived less than a half a mile from work..
once i bought a winter beater, the wife made me get rid of the r32.. i sold it for $500 more than i paid new.
