My god the # of stories I could tell.

In short............get a good set of snow tires. Put 50-100 pounds of weight in the trunk ONLY WHEN DRIVING IN SNOW and have fun. Car will act like most other cars in snow. Yes stay out of VTEC.(its not spelled VTECH)

A second set of rims is nice for change over ability and the beating that the rims will get. Though mine cleaned up damn nice after 3 winters worth and track season.

The car is fine in the snow as long as you prep it to be. NEVER I SAY NEVER drive on OEM rubber in snow or even in sub 40 degree weather. Or very very bad things will happen to you.
