    Here, I'll save you from looking. My firebird is my official winter beater. Buy a set of skinny studded snow tires all around. You'll be fine.

    Winter driving should be a sticky... heh.

        I got a spray deicer for my windshield. I run RainX and RainX deicer int the resivoir, and I have lots of weight in the drunk between my subwoofer/tools/amplifier/gas tank.

        Keep your gas tank topped up and you'll never need to worry about water in the gas coming from external condensation.

        When choosing a motor oil www.bobistheoilguy.com forums. I personally run 5W-30. The last number, 30, is the weight range the oil is in at 212F. The first number does stand for Winter and is placed there based on its pumpability/flow in cold weather. Essentially, a 0W-30 is thinner than a 10W-30 in the cold, however both are the SAME thickness when hot. A car calling for 10W-30 can run any XW-30 up to a 10W-30.

              There have been snow flurries in Orlando quite a few times and ice is fairly common. Yup, it is chilly way up in those northern locations.
              I solemnly swear I am up to no good.

                              Relax ladies! Im just messin with ya's. Besides, I enjoy my snowboarding. [img]smile.gif[/img] I hate the blizzards but our summers are just right, and the FL ones seem to be extremley muggy and unbearable to us northerners. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

                              None of us can talk though. The people with the good weather are the mid state east coast states. Like NC for example. Not pounded with hurricanes once a week, and has mild winters and non muggy summers. Yea, I'd like to move there...

                                Snow isn't as evil as you guys think. Its variety. Different sports and things to do. Just the shoveling sucks! :( .
