When I see snow falling, it's like the roads are covered in GOLD

I hated the snow until I got Blizzak LM-25s (had summer tires on, DUMB!). Now I get disappointed when the roads are messy, and not just snow covered. So much fun when other people aren't around!

I have Blizzacks and I couldn't be happier with them. They're my first snow tires but I can't imagine how much better it can get.

My friend and I wait for snow just to do the same exact things. Some of the funnest moments in owning this car come in winter. Its just too bad like someone else posted, jersey, especially northeast jersey near nyc where I live, is crowded and not a whole lotta abandoned lots or twisties. There are places but you gotta look for them, and take a risk with cops...

Once I picked up my friend, I decided that I needed to know what hills I could climb up in 6 inches of snow, and I never found one that I got stuck on.

And downtown Cincinnati is in a valley, so it's like mini San Francisco, in that there are hills EVERYWHERE, steep looong ones, s turns, everything.... it was the best night/morning of my life (almost).

no tickets, no dings/curbed wheels, just smiles...

tonight my friend and I will be taking a pile of cones to an industrial parking lot and setting up different types of turns, and obstacles to have fun on, so I can't wait.


Does anyone else feel like it's christmas when it's snowing?
i think we were in a class together last semester, fin acct or something??

I've always thought that the Evo never handled in the snow as well as it should - especially running all-seasons. I was always able to get around, but never exactly looked forward to snow. So, I finally bit the bullet and am going to try out some Blizzak WS-60's. All I can say is that it better be a constant freakin' blizzard here in the 'burgh or i'm going to be jacked that I wasted 600 bucks.

I'll try to give a report of the differences once I get them installed next week...it better be night and day, haha.

2-4 inches of sleet and freezing rain and then another 3-5 inches of snow. Running Yokohama ADVAN S.4. (Ultra High Performance All-Season).




Getting around great.

Lancers are soooo bogus. They're for cheap a$$es who can't afford and aren't man enough to handle an Evo. My bf drives an Evo; now that's a REAL man!
