Nice, but some of us do that in the dry.

Well aren't you Mr. Cool? hahaha My car could easily do it in the dry, I just prefer not to, considering this is my DD and I don't care to be breaking stuff all the time.

Re: Cold weather issues?

Heated garage + 1000amp battery + AWD + snow tires = no winter issues.

I hate getting my Eclipse exposed to all that salt for the winter. But I have to drive something for winter. Anyone who thinks that the salt isn't that bad for there car is seriously delusional. In the Fall I go through and wax everything, including the engine bay, door jams, etc. But that salt is still eating away at the underside. Heck, last Saturday I washed it in the garage and hosed off the underside really good. But its still an uphill battle.

later,
Curt

Mr cold right now, this weather sucks.
Making power doesn't mean its gonna break all the time but its a good excuse.
I put the rolla on the shoulder at the bottom of the valley view to 494N ramp today, luckily 3 people stopped within 3 mins and push it of 2 ft. of snow.
