No use to ask this question of folks in LA, MS, most of TX, FL, SoCal, I'd imagine the Carolinas and such, too. Heck, below the M-D line even if it does snow, it's not enough to worry with winter tires/wheels, I'd guess.

04 Infiniti FX35, 09 Porsche Cayenne + 09 328xi if it finally arrives

PNF · 11-07-2008, 02:48 PM

01 IS300.. yea.. i know..

DSXMachina · 11-07-2008, 02:50 PM

1998 Ford F250HD with plow and 4 studded snows for when the white stuff blows. Otherwise I'm in an '01 Saab 9-5 Aero with Nokian Hakka Ones on all four corners, and heated seats. Verrry nice winter beater. I wonder if you fair weather guys even know what a winter beater is?
On the other hand I do like the ability of my 335 to hold a preset cabin temperature for 20 minutes or so when the engine is off. Someone in Munich was thinking on that one!

-=Hot|Ice=- · 11-07-2008, 02:51 PM

I drive my 328xi

bsamoul · 11-07-2008, 02:51 PM

We don't need winter cars here in most places in cali

TTG · 11-07-2008, 02:57 PM

2008 Subaru Legacy limited..... but since I just sold the 335, it kinda became my only car.... M3 should be ordered very shortly though.

mroach · 11-07-2008, 03:00 PM

I'll be driving my 330 in the winter. I'll just be getting it washed every week...

vgame64 · 11-07-2008, 03:12 PM

E34 525i. I wouldn't really call it a beater because I take better care of it then most folks with their DD.

Once I make up my mind, it will be superseded by an 08 X6 xDrive50 or a E92 335xi. (I can't imagine the X6 is good in the snow with its 305 width rear tires...)

roadkillrob · 11-07-2008, 03:36 PM

96 Volvo 850 with 200k on it for the beater, 09 RX350 when I need to take anybody with me!

BK · 11-07-2008, 03:38 PM

For winter, I break out the Lambo.

dreamnmotion · 11-07-2008, 03:42 PM

houston's winter is not as brutal as other parts of the country, so mine is the year round grinder.

chaz58 · 11-07-2008, 03:42 PM

the BMW is my winter car. I drive a roadster in the Summer.

I feel sorry for you warm weather people. When I lived in Texas I used to go mudding to have some fun. Now I can go "off roading" on my way home from work in the winter with a good snow storm. I love driving in snow!

roho3323 · 11-07-2008, 03:45 PM

I'm jealous of you warm winter guys... I drive an '07 Eddie Bauer Explorer during the Winter months (lease a new one every 2 years for the past 10 years).

This will be my first winter with my MDX. The previous 6 winters I put snow tires on my sedans, an '02 540 and an '05 E55. They were pretty good, but I can't wait for AWD.

chazzz · 11-07-2008, 03:56 PM

Winter? I'm not sure if we have winter season here in Southern California. I drive my Bimmer year round. Rain, dry, cold, hot, windy and what else? No, it doesn't snow here but we do have snow up in the mountains. I drive my Jeep Grand Cherokee to snow-capped mountains for weekend fun.

Sometimes I had to drive my Bimmer in heavy rain (summer tires) and boy, they're almost slippery. I get yellow warning on my dashboard often(thanks to nanny-thingie known as DCT/DSC).

We don't EVEN have to buy winter tires like most of you do that in East & northeast.

I drive my 335 if it is nice out, if not I drive my Honda Fit. The Fit is GO!!
