Hey, I thought It be cool to see what everyone drives in the winter.
I won't be reverting the neon back to its regular self this winter, and will be parking it instead. So I went out and got myself a cool little bimmer for winter.

'86 BMW 325E 2.7L V6 RWD + Studded tires + sand bags in trunk = Hella fun in the snow

i will be driving my neon...i dont have enough money at the moment to get another car, i thought i did, but stuff has come up. but i also live in the south and it never snows, so i dont stress over winter too much here

I will be driving my neon cause we really dont have winter here. we have summer and then the other 6 months of the year when its slightly cooler

used to drive an 87 plymouth reliant in the winter. damn thing actually did better in the snow than the neon. I sold it however and now have to drive the neon this winter.

No pics off hand but I drive my Dads 91 Dakota. He's retired now and if he needs to get anywhere he usually takes my Moms CR-V so I get the truck everyday to keep my Neon looking good. I drive the Dakota to the park and ride bus stop about 5 miles away then ride the City bus into downtown. Good way to just kick back, relax, and take a good 20min nap.

You sure about that? Winter Blows, plain and simple. I envy anyone who doesnt have to deal with snow. I also plow in the winter so I am kinda torn between if I want snow or not. oh btw 40 degrees isnt chilly. Up at school in Vermont (UVM) we used to get wind gusts at night in January and February that got as low as -45. 40 above in the winter is really nice...Good Ol' New England

My Neon does get driven in the winter, but only in dry non-snowy times. I have a '94 Ford Ranger and a '90 Buick LeSabre otherwise.

its funny, the people who never experience snow want to see it, but the people who do have to put up with it every year hate it.

the worst part is that here in pa youll get like 12" of snow when nj only gets like 2-3"

summer:

winter:

all i do is swap back the stock r/t wheels with 205/50-16 all-seasons (and yes, i do wash my car often in 20 degree weather - moreso than even the summer which at most is atleast once a week)

Acutally I make my living in the winter because of snow, driving a snow cat, grooming the ski slopes. I also am a avid snowboarder.
Winters are just as fun, mabe even more fun, then summers for me.

i think id have to agree ONLY on that point. snowboarding is the only good part of winter.

I will be driving a big ass fuel truck over in the desert this winter, hello military deployment. But if I didn't have to go I would drive my wife's 05 Sunfire, while my car will be in the garage.

i rock the neon in the winter. i'm gettign a new set of wheels and tires tho, so i wont ruin the SRT wheels, or run the risk of it anyways.

Muzzysgirl · Post by **Muzzysgirl** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 9:28 am

I'll either be driving the Minivan or the truck. The SRT get's garaged for the winter.

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 11:00 am

I usually drive this thing when it rains & when i don't feel like driving my car to work. This is the wifey's BTW, so i guess you could say this is my Rain Out Car
