Apparently, that wasn't you're only question/problem!

Here is my problem:

ive had the ITR now for exactly a year
the car has never seen snow until this winter where i was forced to drive her in the snow a few times

currently i live with my dad and he is real **** about me having a second car
so for next year i dont know what to do about the winter months

options that im aware of for winter:

1. store the car and get a beater
problem: would have to buy and sell a beater car EVERY year and pay registration and inspection on the beater car each year, while i store the R somewhere other than my house

2. drive the car year round
problem: the car is low, it's supercharged, theres always that risk of it being hit from someone else or crashing it from sliding on ice
theres salt, sand, -10 degree weather, and so on
more mileage on car, blah blah

3. sell the R and get something like an EVO
problem: the evo and sti and cars like those, although they are AWD, they are not very sporty looking, 4 door and kind of family car looking
plus i really want to keep the R

so what do i do?
i keep the R in a garage year round regardless as of now
in a perfect world, i would have my R in the garage in the winter here at the house and a beater sitting outside, but im stuck

so, recap

4 car garage, 4 cars
dad doesnt want any cars out side on the lawn
dont want to drive the R in the winter anymore

any ideas? please give any feedback possible

also if this car ever dies or gets stolen or something like that, i want an S2000, which would still put me in the same problem of not wanting to drive it in the winter

thanks for your time
