Show Your Winter Wheels

Show your winter car or wheels/tires..
I had to drive my Carrera to work in the winter of '98 i put cheap All season Cooper radials on it and it was unstoppable in deep snow.
Drop the clutch and it would idle up any snowy hill it had to.
Haven't done that since, here is my winter ride..

I have 2 other rides, but, mainly use my 2007 Subaru Outback for Winter, and rain...The Honda Civic I have outright SUCKS in rain, or snow...Even with good tires...Worst car for wet roads I ever owned!

I'd post a stinkin' picture if I could figure out HOW to do it! LOL

Took a picture but the lense cracked.

1995 FERRARI..................................Red Taurus Station wagon.
What a pile of junk.
What is it with Fords and their terrible preponderance to rust!
Interior is made of lesser plastic than a tooth-paste tube.

Anyway. As a winter vehicle, it is reliable, has a very good heater and the steering is absolutely accurate for a front wheel drive.
It also has a quite good sounding stereo system.
Other than that, I'd like to emulate a good old fashioned witch burning with it.

Is winter when that mysterious white stuff I see in photograhs, that falls from the sky?

This is not so much for winter as it is for going out bush.

This was my daily driver until the converter carrier bearings and the torque tube carrier bearings gave up.



Now its propped up on jack stands in the garage with the exhaust system, drive train and rear suspension laying on the floor.



So now I'm stuck with this little pocket rocket, An Audi A3 3.2.
