I know a lot of you guys (and gals) like me don't drive your cars in the winter because of extensive modification, choice, whatever. Well its December, cold, sadly snow is probably not far away for us northern folk, so just about everyone's nice stuff is away.

I drive a 1998 Nissan Sentra SE (SR20DE) as my daily....here's a couple pics.



Nearly 98,000 miles and still going good. So lets see some pics of what everyone is driving now.

Gonna slap on the same all-seasons I used last year. The Q has remote start, ABS, LSD, and one of the best automatic climate control systems in the world. If it gets super nasty, I can always drive the 2000 Civic.

Front wheel drive has its advantages. I've only got one car, and I only need one car. The Max is great in the snow.

This winter will be the first time I've ever driven anything with AWD or 4wd in the snow.....it's gonna be cool to have that much better traction.

Wow, we are suppose to get 4-5 inches and it snowed last night. The 240sx handles well in the snow.

Winter? What's that?

Same old Sentra SE w/PP. Same old POS Firestone Firehawk GTA2's that I'm in the process of destroying. No ABS. No snow. Who cares?

lol I am not just stating the facts but it is a hell of a beater you got to admit. I rather have a 240 beater to beat around town then the Altima, RWD is so much funner lol

Agreed. RWD owns FWD. I don't know that i'll ever build another high performance front wheel drive car, just something not right about it compared to a big hp rear wheel drive car. Cool beater though.

It is something about the feeling of being punched in the back by a high powered RWD as it attempts to pull your body through the seat and out the back of the car.
