Oh you're right they're a blast in the snow... HOWEVER.. get a bunch of them together and everybody messin around in the snow and voila, somebody's car gets hit or something and then it's not so much fun anymore. It's bad enough some of the stuff I've seen on the summer drives LET ALONE a winter one where you have slippery surfaces.

I wouldn't disagree with that, but nobody should be treating these as a summer only car...I would hope.

see a silver wingless 8 with a huge front mount parked in a complex by me all the time. A silver X with a bunch of mods at a sherwin williams down from where I work as well. Not too many here in corvallis though. Mostly sti's. My VIII gets alot more attention from fellow drivers than I'd like being in a college town haha. She's parked until taxes to get the tc rebuilt :-( I miss her!

I've now officially owned the Evo for 6 weeks.

Still have not seen another one on the road.

That black X was probably me. Ive only seen one other one, and its wingless. Sorry I didn't see you across the divider... I was probably concentrating on trying to avoid all the Subaru drivers!
maybe next time.

Yeah I only caught a glimpse anyways.

I saw another WW X yesterday too, met up with him to purchase an emblem, and now I got my "Evolution X" trunk badge installed.
