I did! Im a bum college student though, and mine is my daily driver, although I've only had her since late august I've also noticed that once I got this car...I look forward to GETTING to go somewhere more then I actually enjoy being wherever I am. When Im there, I cant wait to leave, and when I get home..It all starts over again. Thus far....late fall in michigan has been kind to me *phew*
You can count on it. Im scared to death of snow like I've never been scared before. I figure I'm going to have enough sand in the back of my car this winter, that I'll be driving not only a pretty car, but a fortified base.
my experience has been with 150-200pounds in the trunk sometimes that was good enough and sometimes it wasnt, it really depends on whats on the ground. I also drove through a snowstorm with 6+ inches on the ground with a Mustang one year and what should have been a 2 hour drive became a VERY stressful 6+ hour drive, I was coming home from Texas and did not intend to drive through that junk, but it was pretty intense, and it really surprised me how well the car did...that was with a 95 I had though, before I had Trac Control
Yeah, sand bags and snow tires, and I hope that we have a mild winter for my first year in something with an engine output that is north of 140 AND Rear wheel drive.
Mine is under a car cover with no battery..... I like April because its like i get a "new car" once the car cover comes off.
