Who's driving there Evo in the winter?

I was going to store mine for the winter but then it defeats the purpose of getting all wheel drive living in MN. I was going to use my Si as the winter car but it's running into some problems and I'm going to have to do a rebuild so maybe I'll yank out the motor on the civic and do a winter project on it so the wife can drive it.

I will drive mine in the winter. There is no way I'm going to drive my Silvia around in the snow.... 400HP + RWD + Snow = Death.

No way, mine loses traction in the rain. Also the car is slammed so that wouldn't work either.

I wasn't going to drive it this winter but then the wife keeps reminding me why we bought it for the all wheel drive It's nice to have someone keep me on track otherwise it will be collecting dust in the garage.

I can't take the Harley out, I don't have another car...so looks like the EVO for fun in the snow. Why not, the WRX was a blast in the snow. All I have to do is get some tires.

When/if I get an EVO, I'll be driving it in the winter. Snow tyres and AWD rule.

I'm also thinking about getting a Hachi Roku (AE86 Trueno for those that don't know...I'm sure you guys know though. ) so I don't think I'd want to drive a RWD/rare cult car in the winter.
