Winter Pics

I thought I'd share my pain. Here I thought the colour white would be the best for cleanliness. Up here we don't use too much salt but we use sand. And it gets all over the car and turns the colour into a egg yellow. Oh well...

As for the tires, they aren't too too bad for the snow, but they're pretty terrible on ice. But with a little bit of snow knowledge I'm fine with the dunlop SP500

^^I'm using my all seasons this winter. We've been pretty lucky so far, but damn, all of the East just got hit hard. I plan on doing a lot of hibernation this winter anyways. Just stocked up on a couple new games! Time to carve out a spot in my new chair!

Lol yea. With all the new titles out for the 360 that's not a bad idea. We just got dumped 32cm where I live. It sucks. I wish I still had my Nissan xterra

^^ The sportback is a really nice car and grows on you, i would like the RA sportback in GG . With a few mods it looks really nice.

Good luck with the stock tires. Nice car.

I would recommed every Lancer owner use snow tires, the stocks are made for summer despite their all-season rating.
