Did the same way back in 94. A great car to toss about on ice with 4 snows and 50/50. A highly recommended must try for anyone into cars. Wish I had a pic to share too.

Miata - all the fun of a Z3 at 1/3 the price.

Still kind of glad I have a Z3, but I can't explain why.

The Miata is good right until the snow gets too deep and it gets stuck. Even winter tires did not help. The Boxster is better on snow as the weight of the engine is over the driving wheels. Fun for the least $$ is greatest with the Miata though.

With snow tires, anything is possible.

I used to have fun in the winter in upstate NY with a MG Midget and snow tires. Old school hooning.

I had a very rusty Fiat I used to use for that.

Now I have a WRX and a full size truck, so the Miata stays in the garage.
