Default I was just about to put my R up till after the winter but then........................

I started breathing hard, my heart begun to race, felt light headed, and I almost

pasted out. I don't know how I'll ever make it through the winter without my R.

There's got to be another way. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Maybe I'll take a month winter vacation and drive down south waaaaaaaaaaaaaay

down south. Anyone down there got a place a fellow Type R owner can crash for a

month? Just joking, but seriously how will I ever make it through the winter. My R

is like smoking ya just can't break the habbit. Anyone here know of a good R AAA

meeting group?

Just get a fun POS to drive... I have a 1994 Sentra SE-R ... although it is not a POS.. it looks like one!!1 but DAMN that car is fun to drive... it is faster than my r all the way through first gear (2.0 liter) a little suspension work, and even more fun.... and you can all ways drive your R's when there is no snow, right? I only put mine away on the days where there is no snow or salt.

I go back home to NH for winter break and hook up the plow blade to my R. It works out well cause you can make extra money plowing peoples driveways for mods

I wouldn't worry about it in central NJ, it's not like it snows much there...when I lived there, I didn't change a thing, hell, I was even using RE010's! If you can do it, but I wouldn't worry about it...

man this might sound a bit stupid...
i want to store my car away for summer
its to f*&kin hot on the west coast of OZ, and a black car in a hot continual environ...dont mix
and dont forget the loss in power with having the aircon on full ball all the time and the weather conditions
and the fugly swirls which black paint shows
but then again im just being a big girls blouse
u cant have the best of both worlds
