Unhappy Snow FDs!!!!!!!

Its amazing how these japanese ppl take their cars for granted and dont even treat them with care. This is because they are readily available to them...but us here in the US will most likely never let the FD see the light of day in snow weather, but here are some pics:

I think that last picture could have been the Beatles' inspiration for "Yellow Submarine".

It's not they don;t want to garage it. It's they don't have the space to build the garages. As Freaky said a lot of them live in apartments. Most of the apartment buildings there don't have garages.

TpCpLaYa, you don't even know the Rotary God/Isamu Amemiya? He owns RE Amemiya. He is probably the best tuner for RX-7.

We have the same snow-situation here in Norway, and there's not much we can do about it..
I had money to buy either a RX or a garage, not both. Can't say the choice was to difficult!

I bought my FD in Colorado right before I moved to Texas. I think she still considers me her hero for rescuing her. I shudder to think of all the snowy roads she might have driven.

I remember taking her to a mechanic up there when I was considering buying her, and he said, you realize these things handle like an ice skate in snow? To which I replied, that will not be a problem!
