having driven my mr2 through two winters on all seasons, with the suspension and engine swap, it was just getting to be too nice of a car. so i went a head and went 3 wide. friend of mine pulled a supercharger out of this car, and sold it to me cheap, the PERFECT winter car IMO:
1991 miata $500
2 year old ice-x tires on steelies $250
6 cans of paint and some sand paper $45
Some rubber tubing $15
Total spent $810
Having just about the greatest winter car I can imagine: priceless
Because when everyone tells you you need awd or fwd to live through an mn winter, you can just drive sideways, everywhere, all the time.
