How is it having a roadster in a place that snows alot? I am originally from a country that does not now and currently I am living in Atlanta so have no idea about the day-by-day during a heavy winter. What are the experiencies and tips you can share with me?
Also what about snow tires for crossfire? I've heard it is better to have a set of 18" wheels with snow tires. Is it true?
I've heard also that in Toronto I need the headlight to switch on automatically once I start the car. Have anyone done that to one's car? Front plate? That sucks no?
Any comment is welcome.
Don't drive it in the winter, i live in rochester, about 80 miles south of Toronto . You can get the 18 in. snow tires, the car might drive ok in the snow , but bottom line it will rot from the inside from all the salt on the roads. If you drive it and park it in a warm garage at night it will rot twice as fast. get a winter clunker, put a good cover on the crossfire and start driving her in april after there have been a few good rain showers to wash the winter salt away. Only my opinion but winter will do a job on a car no matter how well its undercoated. Around here the cars rot from the bottom and inside out.
