I ride a snowmobile when theres a lot of snow, but I don't own it, but I rather be driving a turbo rotary instead in a warm car on a saltfree DRY road. I hate snow and what it does to cars.

I love snow, ABSOLUTELY love it. I ski in it, snowmobile in it and, ofcourse, using my awesome Gravely to blow it away. However...I don't enjoy driving in it.

It won't hurt it anymore than rain would. But you don't want either one getting into intake holes, etc. Keep them covered. Watch for corrosion.

And... I LOVE THE SNOW! Love to drive in it, too! Mad fun...

well you cant control the snow so you might as well enjoy it..... in about 2 inches or so take your 7 to a big open parking lot and have some fun doing some spins and 360's and e-brake slides, etc. ya know. just dont hit any light posts lol.

I'm glad that I live in Sun Diego even though its been raining for the last few days I still enjoy driving my ReX. Most people here drive like sh*t when its raining and theres always numerous wrecks out there.

Is snow anything like sand? We have lots of sand in Florida

Of course, we also have a few bikinis in December... Mainly in Miami, and not right now, but still...

My wife and I are so sick of the snow, we're eventually going to sell the house and the winter beaters and head south. Think of the mods I could have on the Rex if I didn't have to maintain two winter beaters - one of which is a plow truck. I guess it keeps the miles off of the nice cars as we end up using the beaters as year-round daily drivers.

Tomorrow I'm replacing the fuel lines on my plow truck front to back. Anybody down south have the fuel lines rot out of their 1992 *anything*? Didn't think so...

If I want to ski I'll come back and visit.

I don't hate the snow, I just wish it would only last like a month or so. The snow is the cause of my heartbreak and depression, because I can't drive the RX-7 and I can't really work on it cuz it's too damn cold.
