Haha. With the right tires you can make due, but she's still not exactly a great all weather vehicle. The beater is clutch I doubt I would have made it to work today if it weren't for my EG.

Actually I know I wouldnt have, I don't even want to think about using the Advan Neova's on the car now in the snow

I drove my s2000 down my street, realized that this was not a good idea. So I parked it then grabbed my 1999 accord.. Thank god for having 2 cars.

The funny thing my two other co-workers both stole their wives cars. One drives a mustang stole the hyundai santa fe and another drives a rx-8 and stole his wife's jetta.

Two convertibles are tucked safely away from all of this. Wife is off in her 4Runner to shop me in to bankruptcy and drove the truck in today. Roads dwon her in gaithersburg/rockville area were fine but back home were still under a few inches of snow.

I actually made it rather than having a friend drive me out to the civic... That was fun to say the least

My car is tucked away until all the salt is gone and we get a warmish day. (could be a while)

It's all tires. Winter tires or good all-season tires will let you drive in the snow. My S has been a bit of a snow plow before

You would have needed studded tires on the S to get it out of my driveway this morning.
