Snow = Fun Times in the S2000
We got 30" of snow where I live in Maryland over the weekend.
I love driving in the snow. So, after digging out, I went for a drive.
As you can see, the snow was almost as tall as the car!
Adult sled.
4x4? Who needs a stinkin' 4x4!?
My backyard, the next morning.
The roads, the next morning. Bring it on!
I swore a branch was gonna fall on me. Drop top, FTW!
The road conditions sucked.
We're ready, right?
So drive carefully!
These photos were brought to you by the good folks at Nikon and those tire wizards at Bridgestone. Thanks for the Blizzaks, guys! :p
You can see more shots from yesterday - http://www.tso-photo.com/Other/S2000

2) Rough sand
3) Smooth, wet sand (I forget the grits, you can look em up online)
3.5) Wash with Simple Green
4) 3 progressively heavier coats of flat black primer.
5) 3 progressively heavier coats of duplicolor's graphite grey (I think) wheelpaint.
6) Let sit overnight.
7) Beat the crap out of em.
8) Win!

Re: Snow = Fun Times in the S2000
I only like snow when classes get cancelled, and as usual, they didn't! Last night was coming down here in KY, I couldn't see anything while driving, and went over a curb in the road! I couldn't stop because all I was doing was sliding, but luckily the car wasn't hurt, rims didn't bend, and everything was still good....
but holy 30", that ****'s crazy. lol. Great looking pics btw

Re: Snow = Fun Times in the S2000
snow might be ok, but i got mine stuck on my street when it was raining ICE 
(my beater wouldn't start, so had to try the S).
anyways, i don't recommend trying to drive in the ice, but snow i'd like to try, lol
