Default Please Be Careful Today

If you are still driving your S2k with street tires... Please be very careful today!

If you plan on driving your S during the winter... Please get snow tires very soon!

And.... I can't have a post without a smilie........

Just in case what G-S2k said is not clear enough - it's not just the snow that we need to be careful about, low temperature alone is enough to give you a scare (specially with cold tires). Those who'll be driving their S's during the winter should get snow tires in the next 2-4 weeks. I'll be switching to the Pirelli 210s as soon as my suspension problem gets straightened out.

car was barely controllable today. living west of worcester meant having 2-3 inches of snow on the roads and no public transportation to get me to work in worcester.

Was hoping not to have to put the blizzaks on until november!

Was fun though, I got to be "that guy" doing 10-20 under the limit during rush hour Didn't think I'd get to experience that for another 30-40 years!

I live on the coast in Southern Maine.
Am going back and forth on driving[with snows]
vs. storing the S2000. My other ride is a Volvo X/C.
Any thoughts?
