1) You will regret selling your 'pride and joy', and you will regret it more
   every year.

2) You will decide to buy another one anyway, so why not keep the known-good
   one you have?

3) Although it sucks having to put your LBC away for the winter, (as long as
   you don't drive it in salt it will last forever) it is a 
   wonderful feeling when to bring it back to life in the spring. 
   When I the time comes for me to bring my vehicles back from hibernation,
   it gives me a shit-eating grin that lasts for weeks.

4) There are added advantages to driving in places that have real, honest
   changes of season. 

   In the spring, imaging yourself racing around in short sleeves on the
   first fine day, smelling the world coming out from under the snow.
   
   In the fall, see yourself bundled up in a chunky sweater, with leaves
   falling into the car, racing around trying to find piles of them to 
   drive through.

   In the winter, you get a chance to do any of the little things you put 
   off all summer because you'd rather be driving.  (car maintenance, 
   SO maintenance, work, etc)

Take that car to Wisconsin!
