I drive this daily/winters^^^^ in the process of getting rid of this one and getting an ultra clean 91 240sx for my new daily, which will also be unreasonably low. When i buy cars, i throw practicality right out the window.


she sleeps in the garage however and doesn't usually come out if there is even rain in the forecast haha

I drive my Civic. Haven't driven it in the snow since it's been lowered, but I imagine it's going to suck. If it gets really bad, I make my wife drop me off at the bus stop in her 99 CRV. A year ago, I drove it 60 miles on 8" of fresh powder at stock ride height, and thought I was going to die the entire way home. The trip took well over 3 hours.

The CRV kicks *** in the snow. Last winter I took it up a pretty good hill through 12" of drifted snow, and it didn't even spin the tires. And, if you floor it on a parking lot, you can get the *** to spin around... but you have to *really* try hard.

I got a stock 98 civic dx coupe for winter, Winter gets pretty bad here but with good winter tires I rerely get stuck unless I do something stupid.

And it is in very good shape so theres no breaking down in -20c weather.

Drove the 92 civic (lowered the entire time) for 7 winters in Idaho. Now I finally have an SUV to endure the crap so the civic will no longer take the beating. It has suffered long enough...

We had a super crazy winter this past one. We are just coming out of the flood it left. I was the idiot you'd see on a busy road turning the wheel back and forth trying to get some momentum lol.

Well, it's certainly not warm all year here (gets as low as 25º in the winter, sometimes lower)... but I picked the closest option... A


P.S. WRONG SECTION, this should probably be in GDD
