Yes, no more blasts aound my favorite corners with car reving freely ...snow is here. My traction contol is getting a nice workout now. Its not as invasive as I thought it would be. It allows for some slippage before kicking in. I put on some Blizzack LM-22's, they seem to work well.

Even in this crap weather I'm still getting lots of compliments on the car. Twice now I've gotten a discount at the gas pump from young guys that like the car even though I don't have one of the gas stations point cards. Membership (RX8) has its privileges.

 

You did notice the window open there, didn't you? lol How do guys give you discounts on gas? Do they own the store or something? :D

 

The window was open because my 6 year old daughter was back there. My kids love to play with those windows because they that they can get away with it not like in our other vehicle where I can lock the windows.

Petro-Canada has those Petro-points for free gas..the guy just swipes a store card and takes the discount off....these guys are just young punks, I doubt they own a car.

 

I see. Lucky you. I heard you guys got hit with a lot of snow. Normally it is the other way around . Us, newfie folks always get the snow first. Oh well, I am not going to complain lol. I am lucky enough to be able to store my car during the winter. It wouldn't take very long before I end up in the ditch or something because I don't have traction control.

 

Snow????? Whats that??? This is everyday here.

LOL !!! :D

 

Really?!...you mean when the hurricanes aren't ripping everything apart.

 

I've always wondered, does snow cause significant damage to the cars paint job? I'm aware that the salt on the roads causes rusting, but when its freezing out, I don't think I will be able to wash my car for a few months, and it will be outside all the time. Should I be worried?

you beat me to the punch..hahaha..well atleast i can brag...i live in south bay part of los angees where it is always a cool 70-75 with sun here almost everyday...did i also mention i can be at the beach in 5 minutes...

 

Well this was one the worst year in history for hurricanes. Usally only 1 or 2 hit the all of the US a year. Drive safe in the snow.

 

Don't knock driving in the snow unless you've tried it...FUN CHIT :D

 

I have driven in the snow, and not knocking it. I just wouldnt want to drive my 8 in it with all the salt and such on the road.

 

I really dont mind driving much on the snow...I dont love it either. I've had my Camaro for about 5 years and it just makes me a more careful driver. I just dont like having plow/salt trucks driving the opposite direction and blasting the side of my car with some salt
