I was considering one but thought it was to “young” for my recently hit 50. . Decided on the 335 xDruve M Sport instead.
If I were to get an STI down the road I’d need to exclude the whale tale.
I only drive two miles a day so I want maximum fun.
If I lived somewhere with good weather, I'd just buy a C6 ZO6 Corvette and call it a day. Here, I'm not sure even something like a Civic Type R would be OK in the winter when fitted with snow tires.
One of my Uncles lived through winters in central Iliinois with a Dodge Shelby Daytona Turbo and later a 5.0 Mustang and snow tires. It can be done, but don’t call me when you find yourself in a ditch. I put my RX7 through 360+ degrees on a curve in Indiana. I think it was wet, not icy. Didn’t leave the road, but left me a little unsettled.

Re: Car Spotting
After 19 years in southern CA I’m sorely out of practice for winter driving, or even rainy driving. I’m very happy to have AWD when we travel and actually see weather.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2019 8:00 pmI drive my wife's 429hp Genesis RWD in the winters.HapaHapa wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2019 7:32 pmJP Chestnut wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2019 7:41 amThat doesn't look fun in 10 inches of snow.

Re: Car Spotting
We do not get much rain or snow. If we get snow I just turn off the traction control and give it some gas

Wurd. I learned to drive in one. The clutch is hard on a young buck when that trailer starts filling up with hay.

Re: Car Spotting
On the way home we drove by a charity auction and invited ourselves in. We were dressed more for Target, but had no choice but to accept the lobster rolls, steak, etc.
