Snow chains? no way dude...they won't fit, the car is sitting way too low for that, they would rub off against the wings.

Just good PZeros w/ lots of thread and lots of snow driving experience (lived in Montreal for 8yrs and use to run a BMW M635).

I have to admit that next winter i may get proper winter tyres though.

I took the subway to U of T so a hot car is still a real treat for me. After a few years I might consider the odd winter run but right now it's my 8,900 mile Winter Garage Queen!

BTW......Very cool pics
It's an S package just like mine.........as a matter of fact, it looks like the twin sister of my car........now, if we can just get rid of all that unnecessary interior trim and bolt a cage in

hmmmm each to his own. I guess you can always take it to the nearest drive through car wash when it gets lots of salt on it or just throw a pail of leftover dish water on it after you've done the pots and pans. If the dirt gets really caked on you might want to try a brillo pad and remember .... car wax is for sissies.

You're not fooling anyone Glenn. Your car has never seen rain or bird poop let alone salt and snow! Did you see that Turquoise one for around $69US....
