There is some snow on the ground here in Oregon. My 7 has bald tires and no chains, and I still don't have a beater to replace my Integra, so I've been gettting a tour of the city on foot. Heh, do you drive your 7 in the snow? I already f@#ked mine up putting it in the ditch in the rain so I'm not even going to try driving it in the snow.

I put my RX7 away for winter.



I'm basically rebuilding the car over the course of winter, so, LOL. Can't wait to drive it come May 2004.



In the meantime I was driving my cavalier, and then I found a daytona for dirt cheap that was about a million times better than my cavalier, so I bought it up. I really miss RWD though. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

i got a crappy set of hancook snowtires for my GXL a few years ago when i was in vermont. I never had a single problem. vermont winters are a lot more severe than jersey ones thats for sure.

so get yourself a good pair of tires for the rear and you should be absolutely fine.

we were just driving in the oregon snow, i think you want rwd with no traction control, one of the cars we had up there was a fwd audi with traction control and snow tires and basically you have the choice to go straight, where the rwd cars you can go backwards too, its quite liberating

I drove the FC today in the slush and it wasn't so bad. Some dude in with a truck at my apartment complex was telling me not to drive it because he thought that it was too dangerous. He wasn't a very daring individual. Ha ha, having rwd was great. I was surprised how well the car worked in the snow. Being light with a decent wheel base must have helped. I didn't see any miatas driving around, just Suv's and Hondas.
