Do you drive all seasons?

Do you drive all seasons?
Do you drive your car all year round?
Do you drive your car when it rains?
I don't drive my car in winter.
In summer, I do avoid taking my car out if it's a rainy day, I haven't driven my car for 14 days now coz it's been pi$$in' rain for 2 whole weeks.
If I'm out on a clear day and weather turns and starts pi$$in' there's nuthin' I can do about it, I get a free but unwanted acidic carwash

This looks interesting so I'll bite to see what the point of this tread is.
Yes, I have all season tires on my car and yes I do actually drive it both when it rains or, if necessary, when it snows. The car handles fine in both, so no concern from a drivability perspective. Obviously no street racing or high speed cutting in and out of all the lanes as it's raining buckets or there is half a foot or more of snow on the ground, but that no problem with regular driving. Yes, the car does get "dirty", but so what? Just get the car detailed when necessary.

All year, all weather. Rain, snow, etc. No worries, no issues. Car is a kitten when I feather it. Lion when I push it. It's a perfect mix of a car. I average 22mpg, even.

12' W204 C63 AMG coupe "T-Rex", 12' W451 Smart Fortwo Pulse (99' W202 C43 AMG sold)
Hibernated during the winter months (November to April) depending if salt has been thrown on the roads or rain has washed it away. Otherwise "T Rex" is driven in all weather. She's not a garage queen

well buddy, our cars are rustbuckets if they Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr not treated properly!
since I bought my car it has never seen salt or snowy roads.
regarding rain, I hate getting her wet n dirty
it's enuff crap dealing with possible bird pooh and dead flies on the front window and bonnet/bumper
if you decide to keep your car for many years or 4 life?
I also recommend doing a body internal cavity wax oil treatment and thick undercoating.
I had my car waxoiled maybe 10 years ago, undercoating is still elastic.
it will cost ya a few hundred bux doing this treatment, it's worth all the money if you want your car to stay rustfree.

no one like a dirty car, specially rain after a clean car wash. Unlike cars in the 70's, New car's panels are sprayed both inside and outside. Rust bucket are cars that is not washed and taken care of.

If you want to garage your car for four or five months a year, that is certainly your right. Whatever you prefer. At least now I know why you posted your question based on your reply to me and jylee. You just want to tell everyone how well you have maintained your car and the your way is the only way. Fine. Message received.

what you do with your ride i don't give a fock or would care
what ever dude!
with your the above moronic comment please stay out of my thread, you are in the wrong place!!
BTW no.1:
With your 4 total interesting threads, I see why almost no-one would reply to your threads! HA HA HA HA!
BTW no.2:
Do have an AMG badge on your boot?
If yes, then you are a poser, I forgive you for your rude attitude why you want to post in the AMG w202 section.
Ignorant people don't know what they say, do or write!

hehhehe.. finally someone who's got an opinion and speaks out!!
i like this.
yep.. i also drive all season.. live in the Netherlands( small ff-ing country where theres more rain then u can imagine, and i use my car where its made for... "to be driven"
and yep.. off course it breaks. why?? cause i use it hard ... i decided to install the 5.5.. and yep. a C43 cant handle it.
tranny broke... now diff is broken.. and ..even my hardy disk hits the underside of my carosserie.
have new bushing under way.. and a brandnew diff.
i would not do a swap.. stop the search.. it will only give trial and error.
im waiting for the next thing to break .. cause i know it will happen.
happy driving!!!!

I made the choice not to drive my car when it rains or in winter,

thats totally your decission.
but if u are so fond of your car... then also dont think to do the swap.
ull break things.. and u are a freak as a i read it.
things will break, and need to be modified to handle the extra power when a 5.5 is installed.
u are more intrigued by how the rear bumper sits etc.. thats totally your good call.
i drive an old V8 AMG mercedes which i like to trash. and so there are more people out here who do.
i got a few extra cars which i use to drive .. i ( and im Obvious different then u) dont give fok how my rear bumper sits.
how my front bumper sits and how much wear my driver seat has.
i drive mine every weekend and luvvvvvvvvvv it. i have a lease company car which i trash even harder since im not buying. muhahaha

yeah, we all have different mentality when it comes to our cars.
it bugs me a lot when MB made weak rear bumpers, with age they get wavy and looking very nasty.
I like to view c43 picture thread to see if your cars bumpers are affected too?
luckily I have a very small wave on my bumper, others have much worse

If anything, this thread should focus on the fact that your paint loves being protected & that they all don't need to rust out; drive it all seasons, every damn day, but take proper care of the paint/replace old parts & these old dogs will still reward you with a smile every time you look at them & drive them.
