With the way I drive in the winter and with my few close calls it is not worth it to me risking putting my car into the concrete devide doing 120 km/h. I have come inches from doing this while spinning out on the 401 so I know it can happen but I don't care if I do it in my Probe.

It may be just a civic to you but to me it's my pride and joy. With the money I just spent having all the rust removed and repainted I could have bought another car but choose not to instead now I have a mint hatch.

I have a 2003 civic I can drive in the winter if I want as well as my daily driver and soon a Caravan we be available.

Yeh, I would put my car away if I could, but I don't have a beater. So I guess my 2" drop, and hopefully winter tires, will be able to survive winter driving. Also, I hope I don't mess up my paint job either!

I wish my car was nice enough to bother putting away.. nah! its gonna be a blast, this is my first winter with my civic, hopefully it holds up.. Last winter it sat on a honda dealership lot well the mechanics and sales people argued over who would get to buy it as an around town beater car.. then I got it!

my last race is this sunday, guess I can put it away anytime after that... well I could if all my brother-in-law's crap wasn't in my garage, he moves on Hallow'een so I'll have the space after that. I guess I should go get the beater out soon, dropped it off in May and haven't even thought about it once...
