Rep Power: 0 Just like AZ, we might get 5 or 6 days of rain in the winter. Only gotta worry about CAI sucking water, since it never rains, water doesnt run, it sits in bug puddles. Yesterday sucked for driving. No changing car for winter though, gotta love it. Im actually lowering my car this week.

Rep Power: 0 yeah, for real. I would hate to have to get my car ready for winter every year. I would probably build around the weather of where I live. if it snowed, I wouldnt lower my car much, just get big rims. Than I would only have to change out the wheels for winter. No CAI, just short ram, stuff like that.
I survived that B*tch Katrina !!!

Rep Power: 0 oh god, i kno how u feel! i took all my stuff off last year (full LIP kit- pain in the ***, and wheels). This year I think I'm gonna try to leave it all on, is it really that bad for the car? I mean- the kit is painted plastic, just like the OEM bumpers that survive the winter, As for the rims- there are plenty of cars out there these days with oem 17" rims- they survive, cant mine? i never got around to waxin my car this fall :-/. My other option is to fix up my dads 91 colt and use that as a winter car (but its not too reliable, and quite dangerous without airbags or power steering, etc). Bah. I'll prolly just wait till snow hits, then i will be forced to take action. king of procrastination here.

Rep Power: 0 i don't want to sound rude, but dude cmon now its only a civic.
people out there are driving their mercedes, bmw, and corvettes out there in the snow. but then again, those are probably leases, unlike ours. i hate to see people beat up their cars which is twice worth of my car. hell i take care of my car as much as my life LOL. so in some point i can relate.
even thou i don't want to, i may have to use my car all year long. i love my civic, i'll use it to a point that i can get the full use outa it and get warm up driving it all the time. so when the time comes to trade in, you can honestly say that you had the best out of your vic, you catch my drift??? hopefully i can get a higher class ride later, but for now, sall about my civic.
