To those up here in the Great White North, share your beautiful scenery with your 8

 

all that snow packed in the lower portion of the bumper can't be good for cooling....

GREAT PICS THOUGH !

 

CGRX, how did it handle in the snow?. We haven't got any yet in Toronto and I'm dying to try michelin Pilot Alines out. Size and width info would also be nice.

 

Oops, my essage was for Rotary Titus.

 

here's mine with no snow tires or chains..very very dangerous...but highly reccomended..haha

 

oo... but you got home alright though eh? Are you running the dunlops or bridgestones?
hmm and from the looks of the highlander in the background it looked like it was snowing quite a bit too!

Yea, I was worried about that cooling thing with my air dam, so where does the engine get all the air from? Is it behind one of the wheels in the wheelwells?
Actually I should've taken a picture... on the way down from the mountain my temp started going all the way down to cold again when I was cruising downhill in 6th!

 

In Calgary we've been fortunate to NOT have snow yet. It's December and it's plus 3 .. AMAZING! I remember times when we had snow in Sept and also snow in May!!! That's one advantage of global warming I guess.

Nice pics Rotary Titus. do you park your car out doors?

 

I'm sure that decreased amounts of freezing air is similar to normal amounts of warm air.....

 

Nope I park my car in a garage but I just took those pics at my local ski mountain!

 

Have you looked outside your window today?

 

Those pics are cruel.

 

heh ... looks like I spoke too soon huh? Should have knocked on wood when I was typing. Ahhh whatever .... it's only like 2mm of snow on my driveway. Can't wait till its 2 feet of snow (right!).

 

barely got home safe...normally it take about 4 hours or so to get there...this trip took me 10 hours...hahaha

and i am running the bridgestones

 

Spent the day yesterday driving around running errands. For those who don't know, Calgary was at about -12 and recorded over 50 car accidents by noon because of ice and snow on the roads.

The car handled just fine, with my (ugly) 17" winter wheels and Toyo tires. The DSC/TC light did a lot of flashing, though, but keeping the car in control was easy.

The biggest RX-8-related problem I had yesterday had to do with my tears on the leather as I heard and felt the boulders on the road hitting my car after being kicked up by the cars in front. *sniff*

 

where is ur rimssssss?DAMNNNNNNN.. LOL

nice pix...

 

somewhere safe :D :p
thanks

 

for some reason... i have 18s snows with traction it handles like s#$t.... guess i gotta learn how to drive! lol

 

ok here's more from a impulsive trip today:


Beware of farm animals:

 

I still can't figure out how to crop the image for the Freeware Panoramic Factory...




And what a difference a few months make:

 

holy crap ! nice picts!!!

 

thanks!

it got my car a little dirty, but it was fun

anyone with snowtires wanna go for a winter cruise?

 

how does the 8 do in these conditions with the snow tires?

 

it did pretty good, actually the road I was on was sanded so there wasn't any problems at all going up hill.

so how about it Enzolor and others who got the snow tires mounted? next meet, cruise up s2s in the snowscape?

 

Cool pics with beautiful scenery, what winter tires are you running?

 

Those are sweet pix, especially the panoramic! WOW. Was it from a digital cam?? How did the blizzaks perform on the wet pavement? Any skidding?

Would love to do a cruise and test out my Toyo's, probably after the holidays? I haven't put them on yet anyway.

How far did you make it... and what was the turnaround time? Just curious =)
