NY The snow is getting old already

I have not been on here in a while so i figured i post up some old pics of the 8 before i sold it. I think living in buffalo i made a good choice going with all wheel drive. Is any one else getting blasted with snow? right now i have about three feet of snow in front of my house.

Three feet no, we have 6 inches here and I'm tired of it already. Bring on global warming.

I had a feeling that this winter season would be just as bad if not worse than last season... Hopefully it does not happen. But after watching the news, its not looking to good for the east coast...

Yeah, it's getting old. We had a blizzard warning here in Utah a week or two ago. First time in 20 years or so that the entire state received the warning.

today was the first real good snow fall here in toronto. About a foot of snow maybe less today. It was the first day driving the 8 in snow . It was so fun. Went to an empty parking lot that hadnt been cleared and did some drifting and also controlled sliding to see how the car reacts indifferent situations

Real RX8 owners drive in winter conditions, this is something warm region owners will never understand.

TX,AZ,CA, etc. owners I envy you guys during this time of year, but unless you have lived in a true winter climate you'll never understand the BS that we have to go through for 3-4 months a yr. Canadian owners, I'm sure the BS is x10up that way this time of yr.

Nothing like a foot of snow and a zero visibility to get the blood flowing.

That is a good point i think the only thing good about the snow is finding a parking lot that has not been touched by the plows.

Where abouts in buffalo are ya jimbo......

how many people drive theres year round in the winter conditons ?

Tons of fun! It may look like I'm moving slow but that's just the video effect.

Hey does drifting in snow mess up your allignment ? I did it yesterday in a parking lot to see how the car reacts In different situations and I heard its possible to mess up your alignment.. True or false ?
