Anyone else having as much fun as I am in the winter??
We just got another 15cm of snow today.....my blizzak equipped S loves it!!
This has gotta be the best winter car i've ever had. I only have one beef:
- why does EVERYONE say "You drive that thing in the winter??" ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Cheers and happy drifting!!

It's all in those Blizzak's. It's actually pretty fun! My brother's WRX drives terrible in snow with RE90's. I'm trying to talk him into LM22's.
You wouldn't believe the boneheads who drive around here in Midwest with Mustangs and Camaros, all stock tires, spinning all over the place.

I might be crazy....
I have a 2002 S2000 with winter tires here in Montreal. I have a heated garage and I can at least wash it everytime I come back from work...
I am scared to death about this car in winter. I do have experience with rear weel drive but I find the S to be very light on it's feet. I do not have amazing driving skills just very normal skills. I do have fun in turns and all but I am scared of passing other cars on the Highway at hi speed because the car feels unstable. Also, I must admit, I feel bad taking this car out in winter so I carpool once a week and the other four I simply make sure I know the roads I am travelling. When I take my wife's Honda Accord, it feels simply safer in all winter conditions. Also, 50 000 Can $ is a lot of $$$ for a car that could be wrecked in seconds because of a bad decision...just my two cents!

#1 priority is drive safe. The Blizzaks do great job but when we got 12 inches overnight last winter I worked from home on the VLAN that day. Its not a Pilot.

I have more fun driving my S than not driving it at all. If it means a few more rock chips and miles, so be it. I bought this car to drive it and enjoy it year round.
Gotta love my Blizzaks.
