Default Keeping it REAL in the Winter.... ISF Snowday pics

Well, its my daily driven car and its been downright nasty around here the past few days. Bitter cold, snow and rock solid ice. Temps to drop sub zero tonight...BHHHHHRR
I thought I would take some pics to share for all those that tuck their cars in with blankets every night
Enjoy.

LOL - if I had an F, it would be garage-kept and washed often. It's all relative, I guess.

Cool pics. I like the decal!

Awesome pics! My snow tires are going on today, just in time to deal with this:

Sounds like fun!

As long as you manage the torque everything is fine. I am running thin tires all the way around so it helps in some cases and hurts in others. I am pretty used to low traction driving so that is not a huge deal. The bigger problem is ride height and ice chunks. Sometimes if its deep I am a snowplow. The Kosei Wheels are super light as well, so they spin up quite freely As long as the snow is not too deep, I am out there driving.
