It's the official thread. Purpose: Put end to the monotonus claim that "RWD Cars/Sports Cars are not safe in winter" Rules: This is a team effort, for every snowy, sleet filled, rainy day this winter, we can post up to see how we all faired. (I drifted home all day with no problems or, I curbed my car and go owned) If we all get home safely 318ti.org gets a point, and for every day a person that gets "owned by winter" weather gets a point. A maximum point of "1" can be awarded to either 318ti.org or Winter per day. Pretty simple....lets keep it that way Official Score: 318ti .org vs Winter __________________ Greg M42 Club member 186 WTB: HELLROT RED CLUB SPORT 95 ti sold but staying in the family.

And I'll agree, with a good set of snow tires (Blizzak WS-60's) and some sand in the back, the car does pretty good, provided the snow isn't too deep.
