I am presuming you don't have winter tires. If that is the case please do get some winter tires or else nearly will become a certainly for the car at least. I know I sound like a but I am just looking out for a fellow enthusiast. With winter tires on the car behaves quite nicely on decent amount of snow and ice.I for one daily drive it unless there is too much snow.

Nicer? In February? In CHICAGO!?

February is typically THE worst month in Chicago for weather. March will be nicer.

I bought my car in February of 2005. I vaguely remember a warm day in there where I had the top down. Car is in hibernation now and I'm missing it.

trying to gather some spare coin to get winter tires for the stockers and then load the summer tires on new wheels....i know i know, the car will eat a wall eventually if i don't but it's too hard to resist driving it!!

can't wait for march....

hey, does anyone put together a roadtrip out to the dragon from here? I'd be willing to go for a weekend....maybe leave on a friday at noon or earlier, hit a dive bar friday night and drive the beast saturday? i've never been and now that i'm well-equiped, i'd be in for sure!
