I will be driving my F150 super cab with new all season tires I put on it 6 days out of the week. Not for my personal choice... its for work, will be hauling a concession trailer so I cant really do that with the EVO lol. If I ever have the choice, I will be driving my baby - the evo as I have all-season on it as well. Let summer come, I think I will get me an F150 Raptor (orange with decals) for work so I will be driving that around lol. My baby wont be getting much "play time" year

I should just get an used Porsche Cayenne Turbo S and haul **** with that instead of the f150 haha

Evo all year around for me too. I used to drive my Z roadster all year and that was tough. The evo is a dream with the AWD. It's time to clean it though!

Im from Buffalo, NY where they use about equal parts of salt/sand to snow ratio, where you can almost watch your vehicle rust and corrode. Im driving a 98 neon which has been great..awesome gas mileage and already been rear ended once. Although I bet the Evo is a blast in the snow, i cant stand to see rust develop on my car.
I live next door to you in Rochester. My winter car is a Kia Sedona minivan. Don't you love the scope of the replies? My favorites can be summed up as, "I live in a warm area with zero road salt, I spend all my earning on my Evo and cannot afford another car, so of course I drive it everywhere I need to go. If you're not like me, there's something wrong with you"

Id never drive ANYTHING worth value in WNY. No these arent supercars, but I prefer to spend 2-3k on something that I dont have to worry about dragging salt on the carpets, rust develop, etc.
Maybe it would be a different story if I lived in PA where they use cinders, but around here, it would probably blow the mind of anyone that has never been to this area to see the amount of salt/sand used.
FJF, I see you have STM in your signature. I think Emery posted a while ago somewhere a picture of an Evo 8 that he stripped. The rust was atrocious.
