Mine goes all year round. I just wash it regularly over the winter. I actually wash the monte more often in the winter than I do in the summer. And I dont mean run it through the drive through car wash either. It gets a full hand wash once a week and I blast the underneath with super hot water from the hose.

Usually off the road till warmer weather comes.
Last november the '03 Pace car did come out for 3 or 4 days. But only cause my '93 Shadow had engine problems. Strange how the car only breaks down when my girlfriend Debbie drives it????

Mine is driven everyday, and this year, it will be teaching the GF how to drive FWD in snow. She's only driven RWD up until now, and she needs to learn. I think some orange comes and a big empty parking lot are in order.

Mine is my only car so it gets driven in the salt and snow. I do get the undercarriage sprayed once a week though. The factory Dale Jr wheels get put away for winter and I use 16 inch bonneville wheels wrapped in firestone winterforce studded snows. This thing is a tank in snow with those tires. It will plow through 12+ inch snow drifts like a 4wd

Yep, the Monte is my daily driver because it's my only car, so I have to drive it in the snow. I'll say though, it takes the snow like a champ compared to the Camaro in front of it in the picture :P That day when we tried moving the cars out so we could clear out the driveway, we had to push the Camaro out, while the Monte had no problems...Going uphill too! :P
