Why would I drive a beater? Can't drive a good car in the summer and a **** car for the winter. Its not about money. I was going to buy an rdx for the winter but decided I will be fine. I think there is just a stigma around driving a rear wheel drive car in the winter. With winter tires and proper rims, most people would be into them the cost of a beater anyways. I don't buy a car for half a year, it will be driven year round!

What does the CR edition mean anyways?
I do love the car. I like the wheels too...much better looking over the old stock ones (I'm assuming your winter rims are the old repainted stock rims). But, that wing is definitely a lil'much in my opinion. of course, if you like it leave it. Just puts the car off balance visually in my opinion. Nice find.
wait, you're planning on taking her out in the winter? not wise. She handles like a fish out of water even with good snow tires all around. And this from s2k owners. Plus you risk damaging body parts such as the front bumper etc. from snow and ice chunks often found on highways and roadways. If you've got the money to burn, then by all means go for it. But, my money doesn't grow on trees so, for me, I'd keep that beast in the garage and buy like a beater for the winter.
