Frist "drive" in the rain
 
WOW what an amazing little car in the rain! First time I've driven in the rain aside from going to work. Has SO much control in a fish tail, just get it right back. The stang wasn't quiet that agreeable when you fish tailed it in the rain. It kept wanting to fish tail, but this car you can throw it out and get it right back. This car makes me smile every time I drive it!

And last week coming back from its 45k service, I took to the back roads with lots of bends. WOW again, smile, CARGASIM

My wife is ready to roll this thing up the Dragon Tail!

You wannta try it in the snow some time!
With snow tires of course since you are not going to enjoy yourself when you think you are going to die at any given second.

I have 0 reasons to want to ever get rid of this car. So much fun with so little power and pure balance. People say our cars are no fun as daily drivers because a lack of power yet from driving it daily I don't know what the hell they are talking about.

Just the weird looks you get as you plow past people in the snow makes it all worthwhile.

Oh dude it is wild you need to find some snow and give it a shot. These things handle better in the snow then many FWD cars I have had. The whole thing is that you can make it do exactly what you want without it deciding that it is in control and taking off on you.

I'm not taking this to the snow. Ive had bad experiences (high perched my wrx in the snow... AWD failed me.) in the snow.

But I will take it to a good place and it's been raining alot.

Well it would be silly to buy tires just to play in the snow as well. It is a blast though.
