Wow, this thread has been neglected! I need to get out there and not crash soon.

Drove the 86 for 20 feet yesterday (end of driveway). Got stuck for the first time ever.
However I did not crash.

Well we are supposed to get another 3 feet or so over the next few days so I went one step better than that.
Didn't crash it either even though it is much more awkward to drive.

Just got back from the store. *Almost* crashed. Got into a Mexican Standoff with a lifted truck at a 4-way-stop and we both committed at the same time.

...but did not crash.

WOW! Did you buy, lease, rent, borrow or steal that puppy?

Put some chains on that sucker and you might have a fighting chance -

Oh, yes, I didn't crash my FRS today - although I did put another very dent in it by trying to lift the trash can over it. -

It is the company truck. No sure how it fell into my realm of responsibility but I am in charge of it so can take it whenever I wish. It just sits in the lot about 98% of the time and I am actually supposed to make sure it get's driven for more than a few blocks at least once a week. I hate driving it so much that I am sort of negligent in that requirement though.

Testing how the stock tires behave on winter

That looses traction pretty much easily, but in dry pavement it is fine. My daily commute is short, about 5 miles only. Anyway, probably buying a winter tire next winter.

That's what happens when you try running summer tires in winter. You'd best be VERY careful, those things barely have any grip if the dry pavement is a tiny bit icey.

Are you guys talking about the Michelin Primacys? They kind of suck in all conditions.

The machine becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?
