my TSX's first winter

i went out last friday night while it was snowing in boston, the car handled very well...obviously these tires were slipping but i felt their limit was very predictable...but i still think i am gonna get summer rims and tires next year and then when these are worn down, winter tires on the stock rims...

i also had some fun since there was 2-3 inches on all the roads when i came back home at 3am...i hit a few back roads near my house and turning off traction and whipping the car sideways through turns is fun just a slight pull on the hand brake as your enter the turn...

i am not condoning this type of behavior...just enjoying it....

i am just annoyed that my carbon grey TSX is currently road salt white with a transtion to a grey at the back....

I hate hearing about snow. We don't have any here yet but it'll be here soon.
You've got the all weather floor mats right?

oh yeah, i am afraid to think how dirty the regular mats would be in this weather (i have the quartz interior)

after 2 weeks in the summer they began to get really dirty and that was just from dust and getting in my car with wet shoes twice...personally i like the look of the carpet but the all season mats are just more practical for daily driving....

I only use mine for winter but mines balck inside so the summer stuff isn't visable otherwise I might use 'em year round too.

Winter mats last winter.
