Yup! PA winters are the best! Actually the car drives great in the snow as long as your not in boost.

I drive my boosted civic in the winter sometimes. Just need to turn down the boost controller a little as the turbo loves cold weather.

NOpe, not this winter, I picked up a beater. I bought a 1988 Civic hatchback DX and converted it to a 4 injector SOHC SI. It's ugly as **** but it runs strong and is very reliable. I don't drive my Boosted EG in the snow, hell no, not going to risk wrecking it not to mention all the gravel, salt, etc. on the roads! Plus I hate driving my EG to go to a movie or even to go get groceries, I am not cool with having my car stolen, **** that, she sleeps in the garage for the winter ,besides she is being upgraded .

I can't wait to drive her again! Spring is coming soon, my favorite time of the year!!!

what do you mean? That is the most insignificant amount of snow and look at the ground, it's not even cold enough for the snow to pile up. Cmon, thats not anything at all, pretty much a light drizzle as far as your car is concerned.
