well i'd say it usually depends on the weather, when it starts to get really cold to the poin where there might be snow or ice which will need salt on the roads 
last year i put my car away the first weekend in november.

my car will be stored in a secert location starting October 1st. during this storage time it will be torn down and rebuilt with new suspension pieces (spings bushings shocks etc...) all will be OEM except the shocks and it will get a roll cage and some nice sticky r compounds on 15 inch rims... a fire putter outter thingy and a racing seat will completed the build for the car... following this it will "wake up" in March or april and being getting tested. it will also get a race alignment done at that time and we shall see where I stand with it after that . it might just stay at home and come out on weekends

hehe..i drive my car no matter what as well. you buy the car for the soul purpose (well imo, anyhow) of not waiting at the bus stop in the freezing cold in the winter.
hey gatherer. what's the difference between a race alignment and a normal alignemt?

from what i learned from gatherer a race alignment just gives you a little toe in or out to help cornering?? i think

well spec alignment is what honda says you should have 0 degree toe and 0 degree camber and about 1.1 degree castor(in the front) Ideally however cars get beaten on and don't stay within Ideal conditions so Honda also gives a range for most settings. the Idea is when you get an alignment is to get as close to Ideal street honda recommended settings as possible... but if your within the range your good to go.
a race alignment doesn't want that in my case since I need to turn and rotate that rear end I'm going with an alignment that is within the range supplied by honda but is at the extremes which will cause better turning conditions. the other extreme would be for straight line stability and is used for drag racing ....
of course if I went above stock class in my racing I'd go beyond manufacturers specs.. but I want to stay within stock classing
