Is this the "post pics of your car in winter" thread? haha

I've had better luck in the snow with this car than any other FWD car. Wash when above freezing every chance you get and spray the crap out of the undercarriage

I enjoy driving it in the snow: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=631201

This will be my first winter with the BRZ, but I've had many RWD vehicle here in NH. I think the biggest issue will be the low ground clearance. I will be running Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice WRTs (205/55R16 on RS 5-spokes) and plan on driving like a little old lady. I'm not worried.

Buy a WRX beater for winter and *enjoy* driving in the snow. I've got one you can have for $4000. PM for details. I'm a half hour from Manchester.

My BRZ is gonna do great this winter... under a cover in my heated garage

That's when the STi comes out to play!

But please feel free to do this with yours, because it looks like a lot of fun!
