Pffft. Only a dusting here in Amherst. If it’s going to be cold, I want as much snow as the weather can throw at us. ---

Made the mistake of driving home last night from fredonia at about 10:00 thinking I would beat the snow, I got caught right in the middle of it in Angola on the 90. The thruway was covered no salters no plows an I was on 18 inch summer only tires, in a rwd car lol, good thing the snows and rims are in the garage ---

If I had a Gallardo or a 996TT I’d rock it year round. Why drive a piece of shit just to enjoy the 4 months of the year we have decent weather? I used to drive the pcar around even when it had 400whp. Hell there is a guy in Rochester who tows his snowmobile with his Z06. I was just saying to someone the other day how it would be hilarious to see a 996TT out drifting in the middle of a blizzard, I would so laugh my ass off if I saw someone out rockin snows on a Gallardo :lol: ---

Oh on the drive in someone was like “OMG M3 in the winter you are crazy” I just told him it was my winter car, I have something nicer sitting in the garage. He had some piece of shit cavalier I didn’t care to tell him the truth. At least he had red wipers. ---

Sti is way better in the snow than my range rover. Probably just because i had all seasons on the range and real snows on the sti, but it’s SO much more fun because it’s manual and flickable… ---

this era of AWD and snows is turning everyone into pussies. I drove an F-bod with all seasons through the winters at age 16-20, and a GTO at 21-22, and the only time I ever had problems was with physically bottoming out. There are \<10 days a year when there is actual snow accumulated on the roads. Plus RWD = donuts on demand. Pull into an empty parking lot and go. ---
