Nope. It goes in the garage when the weather starts turning and doesn't see the street again until April. It's all Expedition in the winter!

Plus, one mistake on bad tires and you could end up with a lot more cost than a set of winter tires fixing body damage or having to pay an insurance deductible and higher rates.

I've tried to talk my Fiance into winter tires every winter, but she refuses. So now her "all season" Kuhmos are bald basically, hopefully she will finally spring for some this year

Huh? I know what a Skyline is. There are various models of them. R32, 33, and 34. This one was an R33, but it wasn't there today. There were two STis (a sedan and a hatch) and two Supras, though.
