Winter Daily Driver
I'm considering an S2000 (don't know if new or used) as a daily driver to replace my '03 Accord Coupe 6 speed. My brother owned an '02 so I'm somewhat familiar with the car, but I'm concerned with the car during the winter. I live in Oklahoma, and we only have snow/ice/slush on the road for 7-10 days out of the year. Since this would be my daily driver (only car), do you think this would be wise? I guess that answer is obvious, but I really don't want to buy a winter beater for just a week out of the year, so I wanted to ask you guys if you think it's do-able.
Thanks for the feedback!

I too live in Oklahoma (Edmond) --- and it really only has 7-10 days of snow/ice like he said.
I don't want to buy wheels and snow tires just for those days... so I think I'll just wait it out... no reason to spend that kinda money on tires that you don't use but 10 days out of a year. Probably take the bus to school and use my dad's Intrepid for when he isn't using it.

I bought dedicated snow tires not only to get through snowy roads in the winter but also because the factory S-02s lose their grip in colder weather. Well worth it in my opinion.

This will be my first winter also but I plan to buy new rears before the winter sets in. I live in WA state seattle area so yeh we get ice and sometimes a lil snow but just rain usually in the winter. I had my 300zxTT 450hp this past winter and she drove fine in cold condtiions icy but watch out for black ice. I won't drive any RWD in the snow though unless the roads are clear or there is just small amounts.
