Yes, this snowy weather definitely makes me miss my all wheel drive days..

I got stuck today in front of my house in less than an inch of snow with the factory tires. lol You're gonna need a tow, or some good shoveling to get out of that ! That snow looks pretty deep.. I'm not sure even AWD would help in this case.

Drove my car to work today, then took my 2012 zx6r out for a nice ride since I had to pick some things up.

I love living in Phoenix. Don't ever plan on going back to the east coast lol. Can't beat the weather out here.

With such a low clearance car like FR-S, you can never venture to places with some snow, and definitely not in this deep of snow.

Got stuck last week like this. Had to shovel out the snow around and underneath the car to open a head way to the road with less snow. Or you can try the quick-bite thingy to put under the wheel to see if you can get it moving.

Not to mention we dont have to wear a ridiculous amount of clothes in layers or overpriced slaughtered animals to keep warm (May have gone a bit over the top lol)

I love warm weather as much as the next guy and would love to live somewhere that was warm year-round, but someone told me something that did make a lot of sense regarding the different weather. You can always put on more clothes (if it's cold) but you can only take off so much (if it's hot). AC is nice, but what happens when it breaks? Would you rather have a broken AC in 100 degree weather, or a broken heater in 0 degree weather?

[FR-S Matt]

Broken AC in 100 degree weather. I'll go sit in my FR-S with it's icy cold A/C. Or cool off in a pool.

If you grew up in texas, its really not a big deal. i used to play soccer, ride my bike all day in 100+ degree weather, and dont even get me started about san antonio. Wheres the AC there? But it is something you have to adapt to. Hell when Im in my car I deliberately turn off the AC and roll down the windows JUST TO sweat. Love the hot weather. And most in texas that live here with out A/C are wellll misinformed. The locals know better.

We don't do that any more!!

nope ! no more! just have to watch out for the scorpions in the garage is all!

this is true!
