I have a salty 1998 Volvo S70 GLT for my daily driver in the winter. It's turbocharged and has a real nice stereo system in it. My evo comes out of the garage whenever the salt and sand goes away. Nothing pisses me off more than when that sand truck passes me and sprays sand all over the side of my car.

My car has been sitting in the drive way since Nov.....due to wasted clutch. It was supposed to be in the garage but my brother filled it with suff. At least it didnt get any salt on it...Had a few snows....its funny the car looks clean!

I've got my car in garage. It's been there since Dec. I didn't even take it out until last week. Where there was one meeting. I do take it out once in a while. We had couple rains so the salt ism gone now. But when it's snowing out there, I agree it's fun, I had my Evo out when it was snowing bad. But as soon as it was staring to clear up - back to garage. I can't stand the snow on the Evo

I have an Audi wagon for inclement weather.

Mine's hibernating from December to April. If this damn snow would go away I might bring it out sooner.

I have never driven a more fun car in the snow then the evo. I threw some blizaks on for the winter. Last night in MN we got about a foot of snow. I laughed so hard my my neighbor in her expedition was stuck at the end of her driveway! FOR THE PEOPLE THAT GARAGE IT at least try driving it once when you get the next big snowfall. The driving is undescribable. You can powerslide at 2 mph in the most controlled way could ever imagine. I love my winter evo!
