I'd like to know where also.

I was out to lunch and I saw snow starting to fall. Immediately left and put the car in the garage where it stayed all day and might even stay all day tomorrow also lol

Come on, guys. We got more than a foot of snow here in central Illinois yesterday and my first reaction was to call up my friends with RWD cars and take my FRS out for a drive! Our cars are fantastic in the snow, even on the stock tires! Even on bald stock tires!

Problem is also all the other drivers out there who can't properly drive in the first place. Not risking another $1000+ rear end damage 1000 meters from my house...

Very true, we don't get nearly as much ice as you guys, and we get an occasional salting too, which certainly helps.

Primacies love that cold weather though guys! Even at -20, they are incredibly progressive!

I'm looking to install the FBM stage 2 turbo kit on my FRS, does anybody know of a good shop in the DFW area who can install it?

I have a shop. We do mainly heavy equipment, ag and oil field equipment but do automotive as well. We have a lift, press and much more. If anyone wants to come out you can. Only set back is the shop is located in Weatherford. LMK

Yeah exactly lol. That's why I group all my mods together so I make minimal trips. Trust me if I had it in my back yard my car would be on the lift daily lmao
