Does it really bother anyone??

I know its the winter season, and a lot of people end up NOT driving their evo's in the snow. But who drives it anyways, even though there is the EXCESSIVE use of salt on the roads?? it bothers me, but i have no choice cause i cant afford a daily driver right now. i was just wondering....who else?

I do. I wasn't going to this winter, but snow + Evo = WAY too much fun.

You're from SoCal? So what's it matter? :P

I bought a 1990 5spd Accord for $750 and wont be daily driving my Evo this winter.

I'll be driving my parents MDX when I go out on the weekends.

I drove around last winter with bald Advans and had way to many spin-outs.

You have no idea what you people are missing out on. Six inches plus of snow+ snow tires= BLISS in the Evo.

Only thing that slows me down are the people in front of me.
