Right now, I'm planning on driving the car until the first snow or the New Year, whichever occurs first. Even top-up, it's still a fun car to drive, although some of the "perception of speed" is lost with the top up. It's a lot quieter, though.
January and February are usually the months I do the repair and maintenance on the car. I don't have any huge projects like I've had in the previous year. This year it's mostly some front end maintenance, brakes and cosmetic work.
