espcially if its limited slip (one tire fryer).
limited slip would mean both tires fry, Open Differential would mean one wheel peel.

Guys i dont really care about wheather or not its limited slip. We dont really get that much snow here in Chicago. And when we do i dont drive until most roads are plowed. But im really liking the black with the black stainless wheels. I would eventually like to tint all the windowns and reattach the PIT bumper in the front.

+1... I'd rather have a little civic that gets great gas than another v8 RWD vehicle.... I mean you may be used to it and all, as am I, but if I needed a beater I wouldn't get ANOTHER rwd torque-monster...

See its not just a winter beater, but a car i would have to take girls on dates and ****. So i dont wanna ride a pos civic, and im a huge honda hatter so thats kinda out. Plus i really dont think i can give up my american cars and my Rear DRIVE! Believe me i love having fun in rain and snow.
