i was thinking of maybe even bringing my car here from CA, i go to boston college in chestnut hill...

how is parking, i know our school parking sucks...i want a safe garage...

btw, how is the weather on our paint, cars, etc...i've never had my car in snow/cold weather....

 

the weather in the tri-state area sucks, especially in the winter. you should just get a beater instead and keep your teg safely tucked away in CA where the weather is much nicer. why would u want to bring your car into the elements after it's been in CA all its life? stick with a beater.

 

ughz, iono, i see all these weak sauce imports and wanna stoplight assassinate them...

LOL

jk

well, i guess it's time to look up insurance quotes on 86 IROC-Z T-Tops...

 

I say bring it. if you wash it regularly enough you wont have any problems with salt, snow. I never did.

 

Yeah just dont drive in the snow you'll be fine, not sure about parking though, Dont you have on campus parking?

 

just don't fall into a pothole. Or drive into an unmarked construction project at night. And be carefull of all the grooves,channels, etc. on the highways. Keep as far away as possible from the Big dig. Look out for agressive locals in 77 impala's. Should be o.k. as long as nobody steals it. kinda playin', but also preety much the truth. I lived in LA for a bunch of years. Boston driving is a completely different game, but can be a bunch of fun too. VFW parkway is a blast if you can beat the lights. Storrow drive is for Lunatics. And remember, there are no signs to tell you where to go.

 

I LOVE Storrow Drive. BWAAAAAA!

 

i drove my cousins explorer here for a month, daym signs!
daym roads!

i think i'm gonna go with a beater....at least until maybe next year after i see how winter treats these cars

 

I used my 97 ITR as a winter car last year. Michelin snow tires and the LSD gave me 4wd-like capabilities. I commuted from Boston to NH every day and drove to Stowe VT every weekend. The windshield took a beating and to a lesser degreee, the front clip did too. However, I've incurred more damage to my paint at the race track from wads of rubber hitting my car at 120mph.

One of the joys of winter driving is sliding around back country VT roads like a rally driver.

Bring it up. Parking around Boston sucks. So do the roads and other drivers, but it's just something you have to deal with. As for the weather and paint, dump a couple coats of wax, wash it when you can and it will be fine.
