Yeah. I said "Good job Baby"; when i closed the garage door.
I talk to the old girl more and more these days.

Like Keith, I'm one of the exceptions here.

Despite living in the "great white north", I've driven my cars in every single month of the year.

Some examples:

I taught my grandson to drive a stick in the GTO the day after Thanksgiving.

I've gone Christmas shopping the Saturday before Christmas in the GTO.

After completing the install of the fresh 462 ci Pontiac motor in the GTO in January, I took it out for a comparison drive to the original #'s matching 389 and then a second trip to the exhaust specialist to put in the 2.5" exhaust system.

I've actually driven with the top down in February (beautiful sunny day about 50 degrees) to our local winery for lunch.

Of course I'm selective of the days I take the toy cars out, but I will and have driven them in the winter in MN/WI.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
