i was going to on sunday beacause we just had a lot of rain and the roads were looking pretty good, but i couldn't. And then, we just got a whole bunnch of snow, and now the roads are all crapped up again. And more snow on the way!!! I hate winter so much. That's why I want to go to college somewhere where it's warm all year round

cars were built to drive, and theres winshield wipers for a reason...
salt and more than a couple inches of snow i can understand, just spend some cash and wash it off real good after driving.

I dont know about where you live but over here, whenever theres rain or snow, its like people get more aggressive. Instead of taking it easy cause the road is bad, nah they drive like its summer out, speeding, switching lanes at like 80mph, its ******* insane here.
So even though we could get a car wash the next day or have like 10,000 dollar snow tires on or being the best driver, all it takes is on idiot on the road to ruin it for you.

Damn i can never let the car sit that long, especially if the car actually runs.
I mean of course i start the car every 2-3 days but last time i drove it was like last wednesday i think. I have to at least go around the block or go to the gas station just to get things moving.

Ive had my car out the past 3 weeks.She really loves the cold dense air.I cant keep the tires sticking to the ground.But she will be in the garage very shortely for a complete tear down.

Yeah i def love the cooler weather. I like putting the heat on and cracking the window. Turbos spool nice and i can def hear it in the colder months.
Summer maybe nice weather overall but a pain in the *** for rx7 owners. My AC doesnt work so i have both windows down and its hot as ***** in the car even after a short drive. The center console gets baked from the outside and inside temp along with the tranny heat. It really makes driving the car not good. I guess let me enjoy these cool months while they last.

^ I'm with ya on that bro. This'll be my first summer without a/c so I hope it's not -baking- hot. I love this chilly weather. Preformance is increased by just enough for you to feel it. The bad weather does suck though. Shitty drivers ruin everytyhing for everyone.

I wish the snow was melting! I wish the months would lfy by so i could get my money to get my rex back up and running.
The week it starts to be 40 degrees out everyday and getting warmer, my car will come out from under the cover and go right in the garage to be worked on and modified even more. DAMN COLD WEATHER!

you guys make it so tempting to take it for a spin. but i think about all the work it still needs knowing my garage is the frontyard (stored in an old mans garage no WAY hed let me work on it) so maybe im better off waiting for income tax time!! new shocks,rtek, and maybe a rear strut bar or somthin???

my 7 goes good in the snow, with 17s and no snow tires! I dont drive it as much in the winter, because i have a 4x4 but it does not stay in the garage. I pulled it out sat. jist to put some fresh rubber down on the road infront of my house(people that live by me must love it)
