What's it like in your part of CA?
Can't say I miss the winters. Sierra's got hit pretty nicely this past week. But other than that, where I'm at in the bay its been rainy and in the 50's.

Hope that guy in the elise is driving with winter tires at the least.

I remember driving my S2k in the snow with blizzaks. That was fun.

Even the Exige I know's wing isn't of that style.
Nope, stock Elises do not come with any aero aids added on the top of the bodywork.

its soo cold out!!! my car is bottoming out no matter where I got!! Was in the drive through of starbucks this am and my car read the same -4F and going through the drive through reminded me of those amusement cars that have the metal rail in the middle so you can go anywhere. Well the drive through had a about a 6" track down the middle and I was rubbing the whole way through while a RX330 and LX470 where in front of me. For a second I thought it was national starbucks discount day for Lexus owners as another one pulled up behind me

to think I have to go back out and shop and I dont want to leave the house

^^^ no kidding!

My '96 4Runner has a exceptionally good heater, it can leave your feet feeling toasty warm and comes with a secondary heater for the rear passengers. Today I went out for some groceries (xmas shopping already done! ) and I usually would have to turn the heat temp setting down a little, it was on the whole ride on full hot.

Feel bad for you guys scraping your chassis on the snow/ice. That SUX!

Its the blowing drifting snow that just sucks so bad today. Most parking lots I went to looks like it needs to be plowed again from all the blowing/drifting snow accumulations.

Yep. Especally that I decided not to plow the driveway yet. It would be nice to have a taller car.
