SnowmoBRZ

Here is a bit of video footage I put together of my BRZ after the last snow that we got here in Wisconsin a couple days ago. I have been driving the car all winter and it has been perfectly capable as a DD and an absolute joy to drive.

Snow tires are a must. Those who are arguing that they can get around fine on the OEM Michelins are simply missing the point that it's just not a good idea to use the OEM tires when it's that cold/wet/slushy/snowy/icy. edit- I also agree that the car does perfectly fine in the snow. Mine is a DD but unfortunately the snow season in Colorado has been pathetic. Today we're supposed to get 6-10".

BTW this has got to be the most boring 86 video, EVAR. lol
I kept wondering when you were gonna hoon it up a bit. Snow = rally!

My FR-S is also a DD, and I have been pleasantly surprised by just how good this car is in the snow. I'm running Blizzaks on mine...awesome snow tire.
