    brought my car to tahoe for the week up till it snowed...
    and it was fun driving it in the parking lot right after snow...but i dont suggest it going off-road...

    now I am more convince on getting the RA, for being AWD and turbocharged

    got some pix at tahoe...

    haha no offense bro but thats nothing...i live in buffalo where the weather isn't exactly friendly...i rarely ever use first gear in my gts because my tires just slip...i start out in second majority of the time....only a couple more months of this tho and then i can start enjoying my sunroof and my windows down :lol:

    That bra makes the car look pretty sweet in the snow. I really like that first picture!

    haha thanks for the complement...I got the mask at the dealership
    for around $90 and its only for the gts model...I mainly used for long drives to protect my front bumper...

    planning on another trip to the snow and thinking of getting some all terrain tire, hope it helps...

    You think you get it rough in Buffalo, try Montreal. We've got ice storms and snow storms piling up to between 2 and 3 metres of ice and snow shit every winter. I use the first gear on my CVT. You just need to know how to dose it. :)

    You think you guys got it rough, try the California Weather.
    Its so harsh with the warm sun everyday with the windows down

    Well, I'm from Ontario and there's lots of snow here *looks out window to see at least 3 feet of it*

    My car's been buried in the snow for 3 weeks now. Can't be driven at all as long as there's snow on the roads. :(

    Next year I gotta buy some winter tires!

    won't hurt being carefull

    Bad thing was The chains did some major rash on the rims...so i guess I'll need to paint it pretty soon
