Default Who ELSE is driving S2k in winter ?!~

What a crazy snow fall yesterday in Edmonton...

I bought a beater for this winter, BUT everytime I look at my S2K, I wanna drive it...hehehe

I do have winter tires on my S2K...so whenever there isn't much snow, I am driving it...heheh

Anyone doing the same thing ?!~

I saw a Suzuka Blue with steelies here in Edmonton couple weeks ago.....not sure if he was running winter tires....

i did last year and it was cool... sometimes stressful!
but i bought a civic and was driving it today....
it felt nice.....
not stressful at all... i think from now on i wont be driving the s2000 in the winter
its not that i sucked at driving the s2000... but just easier

my s2000 is offically parked... but just looking at it makes me wanna drive it... espcially late at night and just sliding around... that was fun

for me it depends on whats on the streets... if they dump salt and sand all over the streets, my car isn't touching that.

I won't drive a beater. Life is too short.

my is250awd is much more enjoyable in the snow, and more room for my puffy jacket. Its too tight in the stook with a jacket for me.

When I get my s2k (Hoping next spring/summer) I'm debating whether or not to drive it in the winter. To get a GOOD set of winter tires with steelies it's going to run about as much as a winter beater would cost...so it'd be kind of a toss up.

You can buy a used set of OEM wheels for about $400. Tires are $800.

You couldn't pay me enough to drive $1200 car.
