Camry guys on TN are not an ordinary Camry you see out there.
IMO, Ferraris or Mustangs are all year round car too...

Answering the poor chap's question:

How do you store your car (i don't need all the details) just wanting to know if its covered or uncovered...canopy or garage. The good base is either going to an automotive shop for covers or you can try ebay. I'm satisfied with my ebay purcahse for solara cover. snug fit....fits well...has pockets for mirrors. Paid close to 35 (including shipping)....I was Satistied.

this may sound like a silly question, but why do the cars need to be taken off the road in winter?

Well, unless you wanna have your car Fukked up real bad, then sure, be my guest and take it out on the winter roads.

Trust me, it can get really bad out there with the salt, sand, and expanding potholes due to water expansion (freezing temperatures). If I had a modded Cam like Alex's, I'd be smart and put it away for the season. No sense in taking it out for a joy ride and accumulate damage that you'll have to pay for in the spring if you want your car to look nice for the summer. Oh, and plow the roads at the same time (altho I'm pretty sure that the municipal plowers would be really happy! :p )

No hostility...just wanna clear up the facts. Oh, and heat extremes would definitely be a doozy to your car (interior, exterior, engine....)
