I can't believe you crazy fuckers put your new cars straight into the salt, sand, and rocks of winter driving!!! Bigger balls than I.

Who's down for a springtime meet? I'd love to meet some fellow 86ers in Calgary/Edmonton.

Jealous. Would have gotten LR if it was available in '13.

WRB is still sick though.

Silver was my second choice, followed by the dark grey then WRB, then white and finally black.

You don't know what you're missing!! These cars are so crazy fun in the snow!!! Flawless. easy drifts around the corner, without burning off your tires! Plows through snow like a champ too!
Heated seats, heated mirrors.
Believe me, I got more dents/dings and a cracked windshield from driving it last summer!
Invest in some winter tires, and 3M rock gaurd, add a couple sandbags, and you will seriously not regret it!

Recently got mine (LR was well) on the 21st and it's nice to see a region section for the twins.

all you really need is undercoat, full front clip 3M(I did expel as it's self healing when things hit it), and good winters

I'm in for a spring meet

I winter drove last year.well I guess 2 years ago. lol. 2012 winter. after being rear ended 2x and 2 hit and runs. and dumping over $6k in parts initially with bushings mounts. drive shaft. etc. etc. I decided to get a winter beater. lol. And I had time to Supercharge it over the Christmas break. so It will never see winter again. lol.
That being said. I still miss winter driving it. lol

I did not initially know it had heated mirrors, then one day while I was sitting in the car to warm it up, and the car had that super thick "hoare frost" all over, including the side mirrors, I noticed that it melted and cleared up almost instantly! I also noticed that coming out of car washes while everything fogs up, the mirrors do not! I even put my hand on them and they are hot/warm! So to me it was a nice little unexpected bonus!
Get some sandbags though.....I did an experiment driving up a steep, slippery, snow covered hill with and without sandbags......and had much better control and grip WITH the sandbags! Cheap investment, for noticeable results!

Wait what vehicle and trim do you have?

I have a 2014 brz sport and I don't know if I have heated mirrors

Edit: just saw my mirror heat up when I activate the defroster (rear I think)

Sooooo uh, since your thread for the BRZ is locked on WSC, does that mean boost is coming?
