I don't hate the winter...christmas wouldn't be the same w/o it, although it is abnormally colder than usual. On the plus side it is a great time for my TT...AWD and turbo...it loves the cold, and is rarely driven in the summer! I should really put my cover on the z4.

I HATE WINTER TOO!!!

There were some huge snow storms, here, in Chicago, lately, but I keep using my coupe to get to school.

It's get the job done, but I annoys the crap out of me when I have to drive through all those salty streets, and everything else about winter driving.

But it sure is fun to do some drifts when turning off any intersection or skidding on a empty parking lot!!!

In the last couple days it's just barely gotten above 0 degrees (F). The last few days when I drive into work it's been between -3 and -9. My 5er was in the body shop for a week so I had to drive my Z4 in the snow......it's was an experience lemme tell ya. I drove 17 miles home from work with SUMMER tires on in 3 inches of fresh snow....not fun. I put on my nearly bald all-seasons and a couple times I couldn't make it down my driveway and the times I did it was pretty bad. I survived, but I'd never do it again.
