Agree with the comments about the Harley. Mine did the same despite being kept in a heated garage the alloy and chrome bits were ruined over just one winter.
I totally get the view that our cars are likely in many cases to outlive their owners and should be driven as much as possible for the sake of both owner and car. BUT I just cannot bring myself to put a dirty car away or to drive on salted roads. Even washing the underside afterwards does not remove the salt in nooks and crannies so I don't do it. Nor do I deliberately go for a pleasure drive in grim weather, just don't enjoy it.
Now a roof down drive on a cold but dry day with no salt about is quite another thing...
