wantone:

There is a massive difference between Toronto cold weather and Zurich or Geneva cold weather beleive it or not. Most people in Canada drive winter beaters because of that. That said if it was a cheap car yes I wouldn't care about rust but a GT3 or even a 991 GTS/C4S? It is just a pitty for the poor car to be driven in the winter and park outside.

PS obviously the real estate cost in huge in Switzerland and the same is true for London where people street park Ferrari FFs and lots of Porsches but there is more space in Canada and many warehouses available for storage plus the winter in on another level.

 

Modern automobile constructions means there is no need for winter beater anymore as rust isn't a problem.

The current definition of 'winter beater' means something with AWD and snow tires. Leaving the RWD toys for nice summers.
