I plan on enjoying the ice on the roads, or is that just me?

I am running Azenis this winter... h:

I'll be taking my girlfriends car a lot


as far as sliding/peeling out when starting in snow, start out in second gear.

I would agree that starting in second does tend to help in most cases.

GET A WINTER CAR!!! i got a beater accord (88) just waitin to fall apart literally but it does the job n savas it from rustin away. in manitoba they use shit loads of salt on the roads so a winter car is a must imo. Plus id half to agree with G-M-W my mustang was increddibly horrible on ice even with studded tires

From one our local boards



The ITR has been relegated to daily driver/winter beater/track car. In other words ONLY car. I suggest getting a winter beater.
