Happy Winter!!

Those of you that garage your cars during winter.. sleep well. Those of you who still drive during winter.. Be safe out there and have fun with the VDC!

Maybe we will have a meal gathering sometime. If not, see you all in Spring!!

why is that? My G drove better in the snow with winter tires on than my Silverado last winter...even made it up the slight hill my neighbors 4x4 f250 struggle to get up!

Regardless...Im still driving mine! maybe not in the snow anymore!

Hmm I have never actually driven a G35 RWD in the snow but have been told that it sucks. I am worried about my car now though b.c the snows are a lower profile then stock and the car sits pretty low now. I am thinking about putting stock suspension back on it for winter.

If you say so I am running 225/45/17 snows so the sidewalls are a bit shorter. It looks nice that low but not so nice b.c of how far in the stock wheels sit lol

I used to drive a V8 Mustang GT in the snow...so far my G coupe is handling MUCH better than the 'stang ever did. A couple slips here & there, but I used to joke that with the 'stang I had to be an expert in counter-steering!! As long as you have decent tires on the G, and know how to drive in the winter weather, it will be fine.
