^ Looks like a fun car for winter.
it's a fun car for summer too! I wish I could have insurance running for both cars at the same time.

Nice wheels for a beater. I would think that the R is a rarer beast than the S.

Well my main reason for a beater is so my S isn't at the mercy of vancouver drivers. I'm sure I don't need to tell you how bad they are in general... But reduce traction and the roads get scary. I'd much rather be rear ended in a shit mazda than the S. Plus I can't load up friends and snowboards in the S to head up the mountain..
it is the OTHER drivers that I worry about when weather gets bad. Not only when it snows but also when it rains especially after a stretch of dry weather. The morons out there do not know a dang thing about traction and road surface changes

I drive my RSX year-round. I have snow tires on shitty (beat up) Prelude wheels that I stick on it during winter.
