Arrow .:Official Snow vs 318ti.org Thread:.

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

That looks owned.


My 300hp RWD station wagon has done better than my 130hp FWD wagon over the years.

I'm starting Minnesota winter #6 in my 318ti. Never seen the point in parking it during the winter. Never spun it, crashed it, etc... It's perfectly safe, stable and controllable All thanks to Blizzak WS-50s and now WS-60s.
