Nice to see another S2000 is residing in "The Last Frontier" - There are certainly some great photo opportunities in that state.
Do you guys in Fairbanks lay down salt?
It's nice to know and see another s2000 here in Alaska. I know in I've see another Yellow, Suzuka Blue, and another Silver in Anchorage.
Ya I can't wait to find a good space to "drift" and have buddies take photos for me

BTW are you driving all year around?
I'm loving the snow right now. I can't wait to get off to play in it some more with her.
You are way more brave than I am. I have a 2002 yellow S2K in Anchorage and it went into hibernation in early October as it always does. Purchased it new at the Honda dealer in town. I live up on the hillside and no way would I try to drive it around my neighborhood in the winter. You will probably be fine on flat surfaces and provided there is not so much snow to make your car a plow. What would worry me most is all the other crazy drivers out there sliding through intersections bouncing off your car. Do you have another car or is this your daily driver? If I see you around this winter I will definitely give you the
Good luck and be careful.

lol, dang quite a long time to own a car. I live off of E 68th and Elmore. Definitely wana check out your S2k. I've been fine so far driving, especially with all out snow that we've been getting so far. You have any issues coming down this morning? What is your DD while your S in taking a nap? I have really been plowing *yet*.... lol My Fiero, when I drove it through the winter/s became a plow on some occasions... lol. I didn't really plow any snow last night, except when I was in the Toy's-R-Us parking lot and in Target's parking lot when I was playing
I'm not too worried about other drivers. Never got hit when I drove my Fiero, through the 3 different winter seasons. Just really boils down to: A-lot of paying attention, watching the road like a hawk, defensive driving, and really just taking it slow and being very cautious.
I do have 2 other car if I don't feel like driving the S (2009 Mazda3 and a 1987 Pontiac Fiero[My first car
]). I just choose to drive the S
She's just that much more special.
oooohhhhh.... painful reminder that snow is coming... and I have somewhat new Continental DW's... which probably perform about as well as Hoosiers in the snow... crap.
I'll probably choose to walk over driving my S in the snow hah
Now, last year when I owned a '00 Focus, it was snow-drifting time... but not this year ha

lmao, We're you located at? Ya I could choose to drive my Mz3 or Fiero, but the S..... Just love driving her too much lol. When I drove the Mz3 I would "drift", but in reality it's call dragging ass. LMAO
I used to live in Anchorage. I had my s2000, but I found it was too much of a hassle to drive around in the winter. I have seen it done a few times up there, but i never wanted to deal with it. In my experience, icy hills suck. S2000 in the warm weather and sun, and a beater with a heater in the winter. Good luck with the winter man.
