Spotted a red BRZ in Cincy on I75-South right before I275 exit. I gave a thumbs up. Anyone on here?

A fellow WRB! What part of Cincy? I've only seen 1 other WRB so far. Although mine is WRB+salt right now.

Cool! WRB Twins! Technically, I live in Covington and work in Cincinnati. I currently have her garaged for the winter. I had it out last Monday before the snow hit. Rockin' my winter beater Maxima right now.

Did you put winter tires on yours? What part of Cincy are you from? I'd be down to meet up once the weather gets better.

Good plan with the Maxima, although I hate driving anything else. I told myself I bought this car to drive everywhere, but seeing her all crusty makes me cringe.

The snow surprised me last week so I hadn't decided on winter tires yet. I finally got them on Monday. Huge relief! I'm hoping to have some fun if it snows this weekend. I'm in the Mason/West Chester area. Yeah, meet-up sounds good, I'll keep it in mind.

I understand. I miss driving it! The car is truly addicting! I stop by the garage and stare at it every chance I get! I may eventually buy winter tires and give her a go in the snow. Though, my OCD gets the best of me when it comes to bad winter weather.

I just picked up winter tires for mine before the second big snow hit in Dayton. And wow does it make a difference. I went from an absolutely useless car that would spin when I hit the smallest amount of slush to being able to control the car very easily with my continental extreme winter contacts.

Although now when I downshift to pass someone on the highway my traction control goes crazy since apparently I can break these tires loose in third on the highway? With stock power lol.

Same here. My car-OCD won't let me just take it through a standard car wash to get the salt off. So now I'm in a bind. What to do...

I bought the same tires and I'm happy with them so far. In the cold they aren't too squirmy feeling and I'm pretty sure they are quieter than the stock summer tires.

Yeah, car washes with brushes are a no no. I do this when it's too cool to wash my car at home:
