The one thing I look forward to winter for is playing in the snow with my car. Empty parking lots with 2-4 inches of snow are heaven with a park brake and snow tires.
From last year:

The new CRX will hopefully never see another winter again, but it looks like the Civic will be forced to... Might as well have fun with it.

yall have fun up there, it will just be misrerably cold down here in Texas, and MAYBE 1-2 days of ice (like last year) when 85% of the car accidents happen and i go out and have fun on the empty streets!

Well the good thing about living in Texas is alot of the cities are not prepared for those icy days so they shut everything down which means no work and no SCHOOL! Hell yaaa! I'd rather be inside watching Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or A Christmas Story in my warm bed.
Now the sad part is like nivek2002 said it only happens on like 2 days in the winter season. damn it

If you love the Elise, drive a Se7en - Caterham or whatever...
It has even less content than the Elise, is less graceful looking
...and changes direction like a ping pong ball whacked by Thor.

I'm ready...the AE86 is almost operational, the Jeep runs great, and the garage will have either the Z or the CRX in it over the winter...depends on what mod's I feel like doing after the AE86 gets it full prep. RWD, and 4WD is going to be fun al winter long.......buy the turborex will want to go out and play once in a while...if the damn gardenhose don't freeze over this year....I'm going to keep an extrahouse in the house. My big worry is the cold...last year I spent more on heat than I did for food.
87 CRX SI, Wide body, and still not running...RB25DET?!?!?!

i have already traded for a set of VW Perelli 14's with studded tires on them! im looking around for a roof rack, i plan on taking my rex to the mountain this year for a long snowboard season, it will see many miles this winter hehe, probobly more than normal... snowboarding is much a hobby or more than my crx, seeing as how im risking the rex for going snowboarding.
up here it hasnt snowed in my area for years, (oregon) and if it does its only a thin layer and melts away. but ice is nice at night, ill be running studs so i wont be able to do the parking lot ebrake fun stuff this year, just transportation to the mountain!
