The daily driver
 

whos getting the ft as a daily driver here?
come winter snow tires or a beater?

snow tires for me =D winter isnt THAT crazy here in toronto the ride height shouldnt be a problem but salt :paddle: ...

Not that we actually get Canadian winter here in Vancouver so it will probably be a daily.

I am/will! Gotta wait 4 years till I'm outta uni though...
Won't be a problem for winter in Calgary (for me)
Although our winters can get brutal, I usually drive through them on bald summer tires in a low fwd car. Rwd shouldn't be too much harder with good winter tires

This is definatly going to be my daily! In the winter I'll just make sure to wash it every other week to keep the salt off!

<~~~~me!!

The soup will be retired to strictly weekends/track days

Me too. Down here in Maryland we usually get about 4-8 days of really bad snow all winter. For those few days I'll drive my celica instead and my brother will have to stay home.

Other than that this will be my dd and my brother will borrow my celica

daily in quebec city salts here, good spiked gislaved/continental/nokian and an lsd will do the job, and for the days where my girlfriend will take the car, Toyota's STAR system should do the work.....

I got winters on my 135i, works just fine. Probably will be trading in for the FR-S when its out and it's a lighter vehicle, winter tires + sand bags in the back time for when the weather really gets bad.

Hi Welcome. Why would you need a sand bag in the back during winter driving? I thought a shovel with some cardboard boxes will do the trick.

helps when pulling into side roads covered in snow. the extra weight goes a long way.

I live in McMurray so the FT will unfortunately have to live in the garage for large portions of the year.

I'd think going from a 135i to an FR-S would be a step down not up... just grab yourself a 1M! Only $57K in Canada!

Had to laugh at the sand bags addon - for Burnaby??? What do they get there, 2 mm of snow a year, which gets melted in 30 minutes by yet more of its legendary rain?

This will be strictly for summer fun. :happyanim:

DD here. I've lived up in northern BC with my '94 RX-7 for a couple years and I just kept those lightweight chains in the back and a couple of sandbags. You drive responsibly, and it's all good. Take 'em off for some parking lot action though :D
