Admittedly I don't see the logic of driving a ZL1 in salt/snow/rain - it's not any fun (potentially dangerous) and trashes the car (especially the paint). In Michigan we called it a "salt ride" or daily beater, but everybody needs one. In my case it's a 2014 V6 Accord I picked up for $9k with 50k miles and it's been faultless.

Side note - shorter trips on cold oil probably contributes to oil pump failure in these cars. Its just a hypothesis but I bet the evidence would back it up. I baby my car until the oil is fully warmed up, which takes longer than the coolant
