I voted year round even though I haven't driven my current Camaro. I drove my first Camaro ('85 2.8/A4) all year round with no issues.

just got my winter tires installed this morning. i don't have room or money for a second car. maybe in a year or two. for now it's not too bad though. i hate the salt and how fast it gets dirty but oh well, it's still fun.

Well, what are you waiting for? You have lights in the parking lot, right? Get down to the shop, do some donuts, and post up pics 
It'll make you feel warm and fuzzy inside

Mine stays garaged from early October-early April. I would keep it out a bit longer, that is just when I can drive home from school.
~3,500-4,000 miles a year.
