Anybody garage their Evo for the winter?
i love driving the evo in the snow...one time i ran through a pile of snow on purpose and it jus ran it over like a suv...its great. but another time i did that snow got between my rotor and caliper i guess and i couldnt stop...kinda scary...
this is my first awd car in the winter and it handles and accelerates great...the only reason y i would garage my evo is to keep the mileage down...

I try NOT to drive my EVO everyday. Just to keep the miles low and to avoid salt and rock chips. I dont have winter tires on so I dont drive in the snow. I keep my baby in a 60degree heated garage. =)
Stored mine before the first snow, so it's been 2 plus months
. I wouldn't drive it in the winter with all the salt and sand that it put on the roads. I did go for a drive a couple of weeks ago after we had some rain and the roads got a good washing and was dry again. Plus I work for a company that actually stores and ships road salt in RIDICULOUS quantities. Therefore NO one could get me to drive it to work during 'SALT SEASON' My supra does a good enough job and whenever i want to have some fun we have lots of paved lots to do snow drifting in
.....just don't tell my boss

I just don't get those people who buy those cars as weekend toys. I can't imagine driving anything else. Cheap, flashy, in your eye, outaccelerating almost anyone, outbraking anyone, bright xenons piercing everybodys eyes, exhaust deafening everybodys ears. Tailgating, cutting off, intimidating and carving your way through traffic. Owning the road. How can you drive a company hybrid??
you sense your *** sorry for
How does that describe me as a bad driver? I always use the turn signals and stuff
every time I'm in the accident it's one of those crazy mothers against good drivers rearending me at a stop light.
i have a beater in the garage and drive my evo everyday snow/rain or shine. haha but yesterday i just found a spot of clear coat chipping! its in a weird spot tho, on the pillar between the rear drivers side window and rear window?! no clue how it got there but this sux a**. more $ on the evo
I'm not sure why people think the Evo is great in the winter. An AWD Audi or Lexus is like a million times better in the snow and ice than an Evo. My lady's front driver is far superior to the Evo in the snow. Unless you have blizzaks and 200 lbs of sand in your trunk or studded tires or chains for your Evo, your Evo will pretty much suck in winter weather.

I have the same spot but on the passenger side **ONTOPIC** City driving in an Evo is fun, or any driving for that matter, but hard on it just like any car. If i'm going to be hard on mine it is going to be worth my while, not to go get a loaf of bread.
