Consider a rock screen, get good comprehensive insurance

Make sure you have some cold weather tires if you are in snow country

Your posts make my eyes bleed. If English is your second language I retract my statement.

If you're not wanting to rice out your car maybe the chrome fuel door and a bodykit isn't the best way to go...

Lastly, most certainly get a long ramp instead of a short ramp. The short ramp is for poseurs.

Chrome fuel door gets you promoted to the grade of E-2 in rice rank. Enjoy the car for what it is until the warranty expires then do your homework on here.

Whats wrong with driving the RX-8 in the winter?? its not a ferrari or some high end exotic....i drove mine 3x in light snow and salty roads. It gets washed and hosed off the next warm day. It Isn't like the RX-8 going to turn to rust in 2 days after driving in snow/salt infested roads. Plus, its fun to experience the snow driving experience once in a while. Get to know your car on a different level and environment safely of course.

Probably not the best bunch to learn English from. I bet you've got the swearing down pat at least.
