Default Am I going to regret trading in for a s2K

I currently have a 4dr 2000 GSR.

I'm seriously looking into selling it and getting a S2K.

Room isn't too much of an issue with me. It's the fact that it's a rear wheel drive car and it does snow here. I live in the DC area.

Any thoughts?

if its gonna snow real bad, put the correct tires on, dont act like a tard in the snow, and respect the car and youl have no problems, its all in knowing how to drive, last winter i drove every day , we had huge snow, i was lowered with falken azenis, azenis are the worst snow tire ever, and i had absolutly no problems, i got to work everyday and never slide of the road, like i said respect the car and no how to drive and youl be fine

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah I don't drive like a 'tard in the snow.

Just curious if it is able to get around in that weather. I know it doesn't snow too much in this area and I won't drive anyway when it's really bad.

I'll just feel like a 'tard if I have to call into work and say I can't make it when everyone else is there.

The S will get around fine during snow, unless it snows a foot. Make sure you have snow tires. No dumb driving and you will have a safe winter

Rear wheel drive is no better than front wheel drive in the snow. It's all about the tires.

the car is fine in the snow with the correct tires, but just do what i do, every winter i pick up a beater for a 1000 or less drive it and then just sell it in the spring. also helps keep the miles off the S.

i live in San Diego CA nice and sunny. I own an S2000. I did a 360 comming on to the freeway. cold tires, took an onramp too fast you know one of those where you go around in a whole circle. thats what a couple of drinks do to you. take it out to a track and get a feel for it and unlike me dont be a moron when driving it. nothing happend i controled the 360 kept going no cops but was scared as ****. it could have been avoided.
