You can leave on summer tires all year long. I don't see what is so bad about living in the south. Snow takes work. Heat you just go someplace cool. Easy solution.

air conditioning used all the time can be cost prohibitive,and we got tons of car washes here

Lift kit!
When's TRD going to make rally parts for the GT86? They did for the AE86!
Need driving lessons from the taxi drivers in Sapporo, man that was an experience! Doridori through city streets!

I dunno, I get pretty tired of the warm weather here. Grass is always greener syndrome. For vacation I purposely go where it snows to play in the stuff.
Cars rust here too, thats from the salt in the air. Surfs been kind of rough on our side so the past days driving around near where I live could see it in air and could see the coating on the car. Gonna need to wash the car again soon. Advantage being that I can wash the car, in shorts, t-shirt & slippers no less, at night!

I was doing like 10mph through a roundabout, and under steered, then caught with the front only to have the back kick out!! Stupid tires.

I can't help thinking that maybe the tire pressure is too high, but... Hell, I don't know.

car's too f**king light! snow tires ,or no! not enough "ballast"

But it is something you have to adapt to. Hell when Im in my car I deliberately turn off the AC and roll down the windows JUST TO sweat. Love the hot weather. And most in texas that live here with out A/C are wellll misinformed. The locals know better.

don't think i'll move there! i can't stand to "stink" myself!
