Winter again

[violent31601]

so as you all know winter is coming up and I unfortunatly have to drive my eclipse in the Winter for the second year in a row. I have 2 questions

1. how many of you guys drive your DSM in the winter?

2. I need new tires any good recomidations and where to get them?

[xavier3jr]

i drive mine in the winter....only car lol where are you located as far as tires go.

I have to drive mine. If it's more than 6 inches of snow, I take my Oldsmobile. I do need new tires for my winter stockers. I think I may just pick up some 4 for $99. LOL. IDK what I'm going to get yet. All I know is I'm going to have fun when I take my stockers to where ever to get new ones!!!

I park it and drive the Firebird if the doors aren't froze shut. lol But AWD sure is fun in the snow.

I had mine parked last year, and amazing I had an Oldsmobile also as a winter beater lol. Must just be good shit cars.

Anyway, I will be driving mine this winter. I sold the Olds to my sister, so I am beater-less unless I somehow pull some money out of nowhere and buy another. I just bought new tires, another set of Pirelli's haha...not very good winter tires but oh well, they have tread. I got them off www.tirerack.com.

FYI, I live in Platteville, WI, so I know EXACTLY how you feel about driving the beast in the winter.

Nothing tops Ohio winters guys... I can leave for work in the morning and it could be 45 degrees and sunny out. By the time I would come out of work it would be like 20 degrees with 6 inches of snow on the car. lol

Man I am so glad that I dont really have to worry about winter....I dont really get one out here in southern Cali....the worst thing i have to worry about is a little rain...but not much...do a lot of you guys have problems with the salt that gets put down in the snow...I hear that causes a lot of rust problems...

I had to drive the eclipse last year in the winter. Not this year though if the beater stays together. Haha go 1990 taurus! If you do drive your car in the winter and it snows or they put down salt be sure to wash your car often. I was spraying/washing my car once a week when they started coating the roads with salt last year. Be sure to get the wheel wells and the underside of the body.
