Winter? Yes. Snow? No.

At least I try not to. I know it's AWD, but the site of her covered in ice and snow (not to mention dirt) just breaks my heart.

haha what's up dude, yeah I finally got an evo. Well...I don't physically have it yet, but it is en route on a truck from Alaska

I already have a set of evo 8 wheels and blizzak LM-25s waiting for it. I'll definitely create a thread on AF when it arrives

They are very good tires. I was going to garage mine but as soon as the snow hit and i got my first injection of AWD + Snow goodness it was over. The evo now gets driven more then the beater. It doesnt help that the other car is burried in like 4" of snow. Since the Evo is garage and i am lazy i would rather take the car not buried in snow.

Took my girlfriend out in the Evo for some snow-drifting after dinner...she loved it. It was sweet cause the parking lot was thinly layered with snow, but had some ice on top as well. Massive, effortless drifts. I hated the snow in my FWD 3000GT - I get excited when I see it now. Snow + Evo = Awesomeness.

it's my daily driver and it sits outside in the elements. the winters aren't too harsh in the bay area. mostly rain or cold. my car is paid for so i don't trip too much anymore.
