scoots

I have been reading all the posts about people putting their cars in storage for the winter, but I was wondering where are all my winter drivers at? I don't have the luxury of a second car so I got a 100lbs of kitty litter in the trunk and I'm ready for another Ohio winter.

Sacramento, CA. No need forkitty litter here, it is actually nice and sunny and in the mid 60's right now.

Danville VA here. No winter mods & riding on Nitto 555Rs. If we get more than 2/3 inches of snow(didn't get any last year), I have access to an Explorer.

Did the 100lbs help? I'm close to out of control the minute I put it into gear and I have no mods.

Billings, MT here.. we've had a few good storms.. I haven't had to do anything yet though.. we'll see.. (I have driven it in slushy conditions, and once in icy, but never was too bad)

I drove my gt last winter here in Illinois. Didn't drive in the heaviest snow though. Got caught in a few storms and drifts while at work. Using the van this winter though. My 06 gt actually handled the winter better than my first car an 01 mustang.

Yeah the extra weight makes a huge difference! And you need to do a foot recalibration.

That's a S***load of Kitty Litter...

Twin Cities areain Minnesota here. We've had close to 12" of snow over the last week. Mine too is a daily driver (though I don't drive as much when it's nasty out). I have an extra 120lbs in my trunk, 70 of it sand and the other 50 is "ice melt". I didn't drive in slick weather before hand so I have no baseline, but I'm sure it helps. It is very tricky taking off when the snow is fresh but once rolling it does just fine as long as you keep your brain and right foot connected. I was very surprised at how well the car does with the stock pirellis on it, actually not too much of a pain to drive.

Alberta Canada here, and I drive in the winter. Side streets are usually snow/ice covered all winter, and the highways are clean 75% of the time. Winter tires, and about 100 lbs in the trunk.
