Okay, I won't be driving my BRZ this winter. I was driving home from dinner out on Sunday night and the snow was horrible in the BRZ. The car wants to drift around just about every turn at slow speeds on snow (crap stock tires) and take-offs are laughable. The wheels just spin and constantly test the traction control. Without dedicated snow tires, this car is hell to drive in the snow.

I kinda had fun with it yesterday morning taking my friend to work. Just enough snow to make it interesting. Also on stock tires.

How's it handling today?... The STI is having fun drifting around just about every corner (I drive at 'fun' speeds). I'll need to put Blizzaks on the BRZ before I mess with it in this kind of snow. I'm too impatient to do 20mph in this mess.

I'm stuck in my driveway for the time being.

I'm in. It'd be cool to get a big all-Subaru NWOH meet going. Maybe partner up with IWSTI.

I saw a black BRZ this morning on Airport Highway leaving Swanton. I gave a wave before turning south on 64.

I'm hoping after my baby goes to the body shop we have something going. She got scraped by someone backing out of a parking spot

Now that all the snow is melted I noticed a big scrape on my STI's rear bumper from some ****. That car gets no damn respect in parking lots. I've got so many little dings and scratches I need to eventually get fixed I might as well have it completely repainted. Maybe I'll just plasti dip it if I don't sell it.
