At least I have something to look forward to in the Spring.

I would love to, but then that means you've got an extra car in the driveway taking up space and making things generally a pain in the ass.

That's exactly why I want to keep it off the road. Every car I've ever owned has fallen apart from rust, rather than dying a more 'natural' death due to mechanical wear. If you get 10 years out of a car up here, you're doing well. I have 14 year on our Jeep and it's on the verge of a terminal cancer diagnosis. Mechanically it's been great, aside from corrosion becoming a bigger and bigger issue whilst performing normal maintenance.
