That is my #1 problem with driving in the North East in the winter. All the snow on the roads has huge chunks of ice everywhere, and it would break anything it hit. You can get a $1000 repair bill REAL fast with an s2000.

 

^^^And all those large chunks of ice that fall off of other vehicles.... wheel wells, etc.

 

In response to the topic title only: NO THANKS!

 

Moderated for language.


eh.. couldn't you just cut out the bad word?

 

There's only 3 ways to resolve the issue, and all cost money (I guess we're wondering why you bought a sports car knowing full well that sports car need maintenence money in reserve):

1) beater
2) snow tire
3) sell your s2000 (prob at a loss) and get a beater

 

had RWD with summer tired in NYC for 2 years and i got lucky and had very little snow. about to get a MY08 s2k after turning in my last lease and was worried about it because it is a small car on top of the tire situation.


my whole thing is even it there is ONE or TWO storms a year that is like what 5, 6 days of no driving???

for my personally it's worth losing a week of driving to enjoy 51.

if it is a rough winter i can just pop on snow tires so for yourself being in NE, your best bet is snow tires and for a major blizzard just stay home. even people with regular cars stay home, unless you have a major SUV or truck. especially in NE where the winters get brutal.

 

Buy a bike or walk. It will save you a trip to the gym

driving 1,5 miles is murder on your car. nothing gets warmed up properly, you get a lot of condensation in your exhaust and engine that freeses up again.

 

you dident happen to have an 05 Red did you?

Mine came from Middletown, NY as a lease turn in. ( If anyone knows whos this is? )

 

didn't have s2k.
