Default Useless!

My RC-F's useless when there's even a hint of frost on the road let alone the 30" we got here in Northern Virginia.

Come to think of it, nobody's going anywhere in my community. I'm praying for sun and warmth!

It certainly is the Summer Tires - AND you don't want to be driving with them in the cold weather:

Yup, summer tires..... I know, I know.... I just had to complain about something, because of the weather here, and not being able to drive the RC was the straw that broke the camel's back.

This, too, shall pass..

Blizzaks make this car pretty decent in the snow. I'm in NY and got around fine today as long as the roads were semi plowed.
