With that body kit you're not going to use it as a snow plow?!?

I still drive the GS when there is no snow on the ground, otherwise I'm in the ES.

my GS is coming out of the garage as soon as it hits mid 50s and the rain washes all the damn salt off the roads...

i think there's more salt on the roads than snow...
actually, i'm positive about that...

can't imagine what it does to the sewer system with all of that salt...

I drive my ES about 300 miles every couple of days.. Rain, sleet, or snow. Just like the post office.. Never had any problems with snow or ice yet. Gotta love front wheel drive. Yeah Baby..

so, since most of you guys drive your cars in the snow / winter... when do you guys usually start to organize a meet?

For past few days I have been driving the Maxima. My SC is in the garadge. With the tires I have on I have no traction in snow at all.

Hopefully it will get warm soon and snow melts away. I think a meet is in order for the spring.

I drive both cars in winter but more often it's the RX300 on snow days.
