Who here runs a winter car? Since I'll be moving to the middle of the country pretty soon (more than likely), I'm contemplating storing the car for the winter and driving a beater. When I get back from the far north anyway heh.

couldn't live whith a shitty unsafe unconfortable car for 6 months per year when I have a brand new one just waiting to be driven!

winter tires all the way

I don't think our cars are worthy of being stored in the winter seriously! :roll:

 

[denlou]

I dunno, my step mom parks her turbo'd PT Cruiser in the back heated garage for the winter, and it's less worthy of a place to hibernate for the winter IMO. :lol:

 

[Renesis]

sure it looks gay (although some nicely modded ones sometimes end up not that bad)

but it's got a great engine and a very good potential

not to mention trunk space FTW!

 

[fusiongt]

if you plan to be keeping your car for a while and do drive it in winter you should look into undercoating thats another thing on my to do list

 

[Renesis]

I'm not a fan of having holes drilled in my brand new car and everything soiled in oil... although it's very popular here due to our shitty winters

Unfortunatly i have to drive the G5. Its my only winter sled.

The Grand Am was my previous one, but again, it was my main car too.

i have a winter car and the g5 stays parked

 

[kyboymatt]

Id say go for it. I don't live in the north but I know that the winter roads, salt and everything age a car very quickly. My mothers family lives in Vermont and I barely see any cars over 10 years old up there. Just very very rough on vehicles. If It was me and my pride and joy, yep id have a pos to drive around and get the gt out on nice days or on the weekend if available.

yeah I'd like to have a winter car ... but finances don't permit at this point

 

[fusiongt]

haha yeah i feel your pain tank i would love a winter car but i am going to make my car more stable for the winter first aka winter tires and possibly an undercoat once i get that out of the way i wouldn't mind buying a beater to take to work so its not sitting in a gravel parking lot all day and getting filled up with salt during the winter

 

[tank]

Yeah no doubt the roads here are sickening. It sucks

 

[06yellowpursuit]

Our cars are good in winter so I see no point in getting a beater.

 

[SilverG5]

I certainly wouldn't get a winter car because I owned a Pontiac lol. Having said that, Krown > Winter.

 

[Guest]

they make an undercoating spray that you can buy at any auto store, I dont know how good it is though.

lol i would rather have a $1-2000 car to drive during a saskatchewan winter and get it filled up with salt and get smoked by odd the retard drivers out there than my $25000 car mind you i don't have anywhere to store the g5 anyway so it would just sit outside of my apartment complex

 

[Renesis]

and you'd be looking like a poor man, unsafe, uncomfortable for 6 months per year?

no thanks!

There's an airplane hanger in Martensville available for a small fee.

city driving a beater would be perfect but if i went somewhere on the highway i would take the g5 so i might as well look into what ive been thinking of doing to it
