Evo n the snow
Only been 2 weeks since I got my 06 SE and it is snowing I only wish I had a decent set of tires on her.

Nonsense, AWD makes you an invincible motoring god on all surfaces. I can't wait for all the dumbass soccer moms and hicks in their SUVs and 4WD pickups to plow the median with their cars because of that belief.

No accumulated snow yet in lake effect Ohio. I want to hit a parking lot!

Just make sure you have the AVS Winter tires because the summer tires suck.

Go get some real winter tires ASAP. The evo is a blast in the winter. Almost as much fun as the summer. It snow drifts like no other.

I blew my intercooler hose off going donut crazy a few days ago. It scared the crap out of me.



Don't drive it with summer tires in below freezing temps. You'd be surprised how bad it can be. It's a night and day difference with winter shoes.

Getting a few inches here in PA. Just had to go pick my gfs brother and friends up at the bar and she did great in the new snow shoes. No complaints whatsoever. Unplowed icey roads and everything. Granted, I didn't go too crazy...... I save that for the parking lots

Be safe EvoM, Enjoy the snow.
