I have to get my winter tires and rims put on tonight, but I took the G to work today and drove REALLY slow on my Toyo T1R's.
What sucks more than driving slow is that I paid to have the car detailed inside and out only 2 hours before it started snowing. Car looks like crap after driving it today, but, at least the fresh coat of wax is there to protect the finish from the salt and sand.

 

well what can i say.....i have the G35X and i gotta say it handled like if i was cruising on dry pavement...ha

 

although my cars at the shop. no chance Id be driving it in the snow

Yeah my G will be in shop either this week or next week so I am just gonna enjoy it for now. Back to the B16 for a couple of months.

 

i finally got a winter beater but i dont feel like driving it now.. im so spoiled by the G that i miss it.,. haha.. i have winter tires and rims i was thinking about selling but now im thinking about putting them on and taking her out once in a while like on dates and such.. what do you guys think?

 

^I'd say keep the beater and buy some tires. I'd take her out on days where the road is pretty much dry and unsalted.

 

im pickin mine up in a week or so and i'll be lookin for you on the highway 14 lbs of boost + cold pavement/ice + OEM 18's = FUN!

 

Hahaha you'll only see the SI....lol. Hows the Mazda 3 in the snow? Seems like a fun car to drive.

 

it's fine...I like it....def a sporty little car...stiff wheel, turns well....need m0ar powah though

I'm taking the train to work now so no more Pru parking. I need to figure out wtf I'm going to do with the G during the times it's not at the shops (paint, etc). I can't make it up my driveway to put it in the garage I'll probably take it out every once in a while if it's warm out (~50's).

 

^I've got some ramps for slammed cars that cant make the inclines. Your more than welcome to use them if you want. Maybe next week if it is nice you should be able to get it in there.

 

Just got my winter wheels installed on Saturday (luckily), as waking up Monday AM we had 2-3 inches on the ground where I live north of Boston. I actually had trouble driving in reverse out of my garage in the snow, as I have to cut my wheel hard and turn 90 degrees to get out of my driveway (we all know going straight in snow is a lot easier than trying to turn in it).

No way in hell would I have been able to drive to work on my T1-R's, nor would I have wanted to!!! My road wasn't plowed either before leaving. This is my first winter with my car lowered...should be a challenge as this is my daily driver. Had to blast thru the snowbank on the side of the road to get into my children's daycare parking lot (thank God I didn't invest in the Nismo front bumper!!).....below is a result of doing so .

 

G's in the winter suck! i used mine for 2 winters and although it was nice to have her, you do more damage then good.. got the beater and now i dont want to drive it..haha.. i think im going to trade em all in for an S4.. maybee mid summer..

 

my car isnt too good. i start in 2nd gear so i dont slip, but sometimes i just have NO control and i hate that feeling. need to remove rims asap
