Advice needed

Hello everyone I know this doesn't really go with this section of the forum, but I can't post in the lounge and I feel this is the next best thing. So the winter is coming and I live in MA where its suppose to snow a decent amount this year. I'm going to buy my first rx7sunday, but I was wondering if I should wait for spring to come back around to get a rx7 and just get a winter truck or jeep. I need to buy a car this weekend so advice is need ed quick! Thank you!

If you need 1 car for over the winter, an rx is not what u need if your going to get that much snow.

I have purchased all of my vehicles in winter
I figure if ya buy em when it's shitty out,and they run fine,
you should be able to have good daily driver
I bought my FC on dec 23 2006 during an ice storm.
Daily drove it until a couple years ago 20,000+ miles

Well its not going to be crazy every day snow, and it'll be an 88 fc vert. I don't think it should be to bad.

It's all about tires when snow is involved.
Good, skinny winter tires and your heavy vert should be fine.
Depending on the stance of the car, ground clearance might be a problem.
