Default Snow

Lets just say that Crossfire+snow=wow. 5 inches in Shelby ohio right now, coming home from work was nuts. Another 10 to 15 expected tomorrow, so I'm going nowhere tomorrow.

We still have 4+ feet on the ground & it's supposed to be 12 below tonight. The winter that refuses to go away.
I feel your pain!

I'm very surprised at how well the Xfire does in the snow with the Conti Touring tires. Next year I plan to get a set of front rims and mount them with snow tires and put them on the rears.

No snow for my babe! She stays covered and warm in the garage all winter. Right now I'm counting the days till I can unwrap her and apply the first coat of summer wax. I had a 300ZX years ago and it was a bit** to drive in the winter. One day time storm dropped about 5" of snow and a 15 minute drive took about 2 hours. I finally got behind a plow and just followed him around until I got close enough to my house to make it the rest of the way by myself. That was the end of my winter sports car driving. I'll stick with the Bravada for winter driving!

But what about all the days when the roads are dry and clear and it's only cold out.
I love to take out my Crossfire out on these days.
It has been out of my heated garage at least every 3 weeks this whole winter and not even gotten dirty.
Just a quick detail and she's good to go again.
