What are you driving for winter?
I’m at a cross-roads… i usually buy a beater or something decent and then flip it in the spring, but i have to drive something better this year…
As a result… i just arranged to pick up some 18" winter tires… going to drive the Kouki S14 through winter with a nice undercoating 🙂
I figure i’m better off putting the money into maintenance on my DD than i am into something else.
SR20, coilovers, 2-way diff and a baby-seat… gonna be great

Cars are meant to be driven. Europeans don’t buy BMWs and Porches to garage them- they drive them through the winter.
:tup: to actually using your car.

Thanks, drove it last winter and couldn’t find a reason not to again. It is a 20k car at this point and well she is gonna see some snow! I still might grab a nice suv in the near future though but I want to have my fx7 build really close to done before I make other commitments financially.

I used to do the winter beater thing (I miss it) but living out in the middle of nowhere, having a nice Cherokee as a year-round winter/work vehicle makes more sense.
