I would love to have a MKII Na 2 for a commuter or winter car. Or maybe a first gen 7. Low power, skinny tires, "beater" paint etc. That would be great. A rwd go kart sized daily driver that I wouldn't be afraid to scratch.

It makes you drive sideways while going straight if that makes sense to ya, if i didn't do it on purpose i woulda definitely switched ends and as it was i still almost ended up in someone's yard, but there is NO experience like driving sideways down 2 blocks while still moving forward, it's kinda like drifting but we call it winter down here ROFL

lmfao. I can relate to that

oooh ... my turn!

consider this: i drove one of my past Rx-7s from charlotteville, va to the Bronx in a blizzard and it only spun once - granted i spent most of it at around 30 MPH, effectively turning a 5.5 hour trip into something like a 13 hour trip.

on the other hand, i could barely get my MR2 out of a parking space after a very light dusting in Seattle ...

gimmie an Rx-7 in the snow anyday!
