So we all know the RX-7 was built to tear up the pavement, but what else can they accomplish?
Yesterday I got a set ofstudded snow and mud tires with rims off of Craigslist for $95 that actually fit on my car. To test them out today I drove myself up snowboarding. I went up to Arapahoe Basin which is on the other side of Loveland Pass. The snow was coming down pretty hard today but I was still able to make it up and over the 11,990 Ft summit. On the way back, it was snowing much harder so instead of going back over the pass, I went around through Dillon back to I-70. Going up a really nasty hill to the Eisenhower Tunnel, it was an awesome feeling to be cruizing past these big SUVs and Jeeps. They were going 30 MPH in the right lane while I was going uphill, on an icy road, in a near blizzard, in my little RX-7, blasting by them going almost the speed limit. Its amazing what a good set of tires and some driving skill can do.
