Default getting bored

so i bought my 02' s2k in june and i've already grown tired of it... maybe it's the 2 seater... maybe it's the height of it... but i think there's a possibility i might sell it and get a Ridgeline next summer. Sucks that the s2k can't drive in the winter... i need an everyday car since i'm a student at KU. what do you guys think?

if you get snow tires or all seasons you should be fine driving in the snow........it hasn't gotten too bad around here.

I get around just fine in the winter, I'm a student at KU as well. You just have to take it easy when driving on snow or ice, I've driven on many roads that haven't been plowed and have never gotten stuck. I don't have snow tires. The hardest places to drive are usually parking lots and driveways with an incline. For an extra $10 a semester you can park in the parking garage at school.

Know this...

You'll always wish (10 years from now) that you never got rid of that S.

Global warming or whatever has made our area's climate 'S-drivable' last year (all year). I suspect it won't change for awhile.

It will be far cheaper to get a set of winter-worthy tires for the ~2 months they might be needed.

2 cents.

Buy my extra set of AP1 wheels and get snow tires. The car is excellent in the winter with snow tires...or so I am told. I REALLY need to get these wheels out of my garage.
