What are all you Evo drivers driving this winter?

For all you Evo drivers that have to deal with snow or just ugly weather, what are you driving?
Im from Buffalo, NY where they use about equal parts of salt/sand to snow ratio, where you can almost watch your vehicle rust and corrode. Im driving a 98 neon which has been great..awesome gas mileage and already been rear ended once. Although I bet the Evo is a blast in the snow, i cant stand to see rust develop on my car.

Thankfully they don't use a lot of salt in CO, so I'm driving the greatest snow car ever, Evo with snow tires!

Driving the EVO!! It's a blast. But there still hasn't been snow here in PA. WTH. When it does and she gets full of salt and crap, Hit up sheets for the carwash, one of the best around.

Evo all year 'round.



PA is hard on the cars also. I've got a cool way to help with cleaning the crap off the bottom of the car. PM me if you're curious.

I'm driving a lowly Evo II......

because my GF has claimed my X as her winter car.....


The average life of a car,for the common Joe here in 6 months of winter salt....Canada is around 10 years.With decent washing/waxing and some form of rust "delay"(Rust Check or similar)......I'm good for between 15-20 years.So in 20 years from now I'll just go to Japan and buy a nice rust free,always garaged Evo X................

But in the meantime........





I'm gonna enjoy my all wheel drives to the MAX!
