Just thinking about this as a winter beater makes me wanna cry.

Winter beater? What?

If they didn't salt roads I'd totally drive anything and everything in the snow.

Whaaaaaaaat?!? It's just water in a different physical form. It's the damned salt and mag-chloride that ruin all of the winter fun. And the bad drivers. Plus, why plow your drive like this:

When you could be plowing in style?

Also this makes your argument invalid:

First, that Roller was my original avatar:

Second, if you drive a Duesenberg in the snow, at some point, you will damage it. And that's not right.

So you're saying that every one will at some point always crash in the snow?

Not at all. But with a car like that, which would handle snow about as well as a pontoon boat, combine with all the other factors, the risk is far, far too great. No matter how good a driver you are, the risk of damage is very high, and it just isn't worth it for such a rare, valuable, beautiful car.

I don't see it like that. I see it as a car, albeit a gorgeous beast of one, but a car none the less. Plus I like being ridiculous. Oh, and custom snow tires. I mean if I can afford a car like that I can afford to fix it.

It's a car, that's true. I don't believe in garaging a car and never driving it. But when a driver, even a good one, takes a car out in snowy conditions, the chances of damaging it increase exponentially. Those chances are further multiplied in a car like this, which even on studded tires, would be a fish out of water. There's an excellent reason why nobody with a Duesenberg or other similar car drives it in winter; winter is hard on cars, and these cars are not meant for conditions like that.
