My S2K in my sig. She's also my fav car, so no beater here. I had a TL and I was MISERABLE driving that thing. I don't drive the S2K in the snow as I am mostly a pedestrian these days and I try to avoid salt & sand as much as possible. I do drive the S in the winter if it's a nice Winter day. I miss it too much when I store it away for the whole winter.

Not quite a beater, but this is my daily. Seems to be OK in the snow .Next winter the S could become Rick's daily driver as he is thinking of selling the WRX in the spring . Anyone interested in a 2008 WRX with about 80K miles on it?

420hp can be a little much in the snow!
Any transmission issues yet? I had a 15 for a year with the 6.2...two transmissions later I'm back into a 16 Duramax.

Not yet... We do have a 6yr bumper to bumper on it so not too concerned at the moment. Only downside so far if you could call it that is that it can be a little touchy taking off in the rain in 2WD. Had the back end come around numerous times!

We live near the Park...I think we've see you around. Next time you see two "Mature" folks in a Suzuka S2000, be sure to wave, that's us.
