[hr]Being born and raised in sunny Southern California I've never had to deal with winter driving. But this year I'll be moving to North Carolina the first week of January. What can I expect? [hr]

I have to drive mine in the winter.. The second one, last winter was on some ice and could not swerve and hit a HUGE ice blcok and cracked the underside on the bumper. It is slowly falling apart so I am going to have to buy a new one soon.

its either you love your car too much to not drive her year round, or you just plain are stuck with driving your car year round cause its your only one. yeah this will be my first winter with my 02 lx sedan, the exterior is stock so i will just wax her up and keep a the gas above the half way mark. also watch the antifreeze and so on. keep her clean once comming home from the snow and salt paved street. i live in chicago by then way.

I drive my car all winter,,,last year I had the stock Firestones which were pretty much bald all winter...that was fun... This year I have some huge winter tires on for some rally car action 

...I have 195/75R14 Rallye snowmaster tires on....all I do in the winter use my handbrake alot to turn...I hate understeer in winter. and I like the fact that I do not have ABS [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]
