What's more exciting than driving in the snow with a car that could blow up if struck from behind?

i voted for the m3 coupe but in my opinion, if you have the money for a new car, why not buy a used awd such as an audi r8

Maybe this will help... sorry for bad photo chop on Shelby, it would have Vossen VVSCV1 concave wheels, all colors and wheels on BMW and Spyder are correct
What would you drive?-shelby-m3-spyder-compare.jpg
Personally I'm STILL leaning towards Shelby, LOVE this set-up with Vossens and black on white...

The topic is confusing.

Are you going to actually going to drive it IN bad winter conditions? Or, by "PLAY", do you mean only good weather, and put it in the garage from October to April? Or, do you mean, drive it in the winter (at low temperatures), but only when dry and not when the roads are bad?

I can't give you any more advice until you clarify this.
