Default KDW's and White stuff.... no driving to school today!

Couldn't make it up my road more than 20 ft. We're expected to get 2 inches and I dont want to get stuck at school. So I pulled back into my driveway and decided to stay in from school and get a few quick pics.

Keep in mind I'm no photographer, and this is my daily.







Dont care if you flame or whatever. Shes not getting mirrors any time soon.

Nice, those tires look beefy! Also I think your front will look cleaner without the fog lights.

I'm fine with driving in the snow, in fact I love it.... I used to do it in this car all the time. I just dont want to run the risk of breaking something if I slide off the road. Plus the snow is really slippery right now. The guy building my addition on my house was having trouble in his 4WD Ram. So I just figured, there is no point in risking the ride.

It used to before I lowered it and put my lip on.

Tires are 205-50-15's. I love em because they grip so well. As for the fogs, I've always liked the square SIR fogs. To each his own.

Thanks for the comments guys!

I thought I could make it through the rest of the semester with my car in upstate NY (Oswego university) and as soon as I cam back from Thanksgiving break we have been getting pounded. My car hasn't moved in 2 weeks....good thing I'm done with finals next Thursday and I can start the winter mods.

to snow

I tried moving out of my driveway about an hr ago with 4 inches of snow on the ground. No go.... LOL. Plowed my driveway though.

Yeah they were what I could afford. I bought them for $300 and slapped some tires on them. They're fully polished (dirty as hell right now) so they're not your average Rotas. I was workin on a set of steelies, but my buddy (JDM Dan) hasnt called me back about them. It doesnt snow enough around here to really use them... so we'll see what the rest of winter brings. I might just borrow my buddies rock crawler TJ for the time being.

They're 15x7's. I wish they didnt look so big on there, but I love the tire. I wouldnt trade them for anything else right now.

I'll get some pics of the car now with some more snow on it....

Snow rocks. Snowday&gt;school. Car looks good and I like the fogs too.

That isn't much snow at all though. Your car could have handled that. I've driven my eg in many utah winters with and without lsd and it was like a snowmobile. Even though lsd doesn't help much. This winter I get to garage the honda cause I have a truck now .
