I use snow mode when the snow sticks to the road but I use gravel for rain or light snow thats not sticking. I use hankooks snow tires and stock wheels in the winter and falken azenis and volk ce28n in the summer spring and fall

I had a blast in the snow last year. I thing we had like 4,000 accidents in one day when it snowed last year. There was a 2000 black 911 turbo that was stuck in a ditch, as I drove by it multiple times that day, like 4 different cars drove right in to it, sucks for that guy.

Last winter when we had a 6" snow fall, the supra got me to work, on time. When we had an ice storm.....same deal the supra got me there........I have had people try to buy my supra but, I find it hard to sell the thing, i love it too much. Anyway, like i said so far, the supra fears no snow

I was born and raised in Jamaica, pretty much any car made in Japan goes to Jamaica. So I have loved the EVO since the very first GSR back in early '90's.

Saying that to say this, maybe you are new to the EVO but I am not. Don't think my car gets babied. I don't abuse it either, whenever it gets driven it gets driven hard. If I prefer to not drive it in the winter, well that's up to me ain't it? To each their own. You drive yours all year round........more power to you

I have been fortunate or silly [depending on your view] to have more than one vehicle and would rather not drive the EVO in the winter..................give me time to save for more upgrade parts to install after the winter. GOD I LOVE THIS CAR!!!

I drive it al year round but it never snows over here in the Netherlands, perhaps only 1 or 2 days and the snow lasts for 4. I'm doing my best though burning lots of fuel with my EVO and contributing to changing the climate so it will one day start to snow over here in winter and i can finnaly have my snow fun

I only drive my Evo in the snow when I feel like having fun. It's not my daily driver so im lucky enough to choose yes or no when seeing snow outside. If it was my daily though I would drive it in the snow without thinking twice.

Cinders FTL!!! That's precisely why my car sits under 2 car covers all winter!! Those things wreak havoc on any type of paint, especially when one gets stuck in the tire tread of the car infront of you and gets flung out at 40 mph and hits your hood.. Thats a painful noise..

If you baby sleeps during the winter, share your pics of it in hibernation mode here.
