You poor bastards. I hate to tell you that my SVX is now my winter beater so that my BRZ can sit in the garage if they even hint of snow or hail.

She handles good in the snow with some good snow tires. When you want to have its as simple as switching off traction control

I do a rinse on the weekends unless the roads are wet and its below freezing. I just blast off the grime from the road and dry it down in the bay, out of the wind.

^ Same here.

For me I'm feeling sorry for all of you that don't drive year round.

I was on the fence about getting an 02 WRX or a 99 2.5RS as a winter beater, but in the end decided that the couple days through the winter that are actually nasty out are worth the 95% of winter in WI where the roads are clear and dry.

I live in Houston. It was 70 degrees out yesterday. I was in shorts over the weekend. Winter? Snow? Not really sure what those words mean.... :P

Your balls will be frozen preventing you from walking, then rest of your body will freeze at where you're standing, you won't even get to your car... so whether or not your car will start is irrelevant.

Oh come on now with that crazy exaggeration

Now you're just being silly.

Marcoscrdo · 02-06-2013, 01:42 PM

Heck, I live in SoCal, and even I leave my BRZ in the garage if there are clouds in the sky!

(I gotta find SOME use for my WRX, right?)
