yep. i agree with a few.... this is why my car stays parked from November to April underground. 2800lbs + 450whp + ice = disaster.

I drove my s2000 here in Edmonton for 2 solid winters (4-5months of snow/ice) and it did quite well. Blame the tires, not the car.

I agree. my S with dedicated snow tires does better than most cars on the road now. my problem is no longer traction (of course not counting ice), it's clearance!

I know that feeling well. The night I took ownership of my S the same thing happened to me. I hit black ice doing about 40MPH, back end swapped out, and the next thing I knew I was sitting on top of a 3 foot tall snow drift wondering how badly wrecked my S2000 was.

Doesn't sound like there's anything major that's wrong with yours. Hopefully it'll be good to go once the real driving weather comes back.
