Here's my incredible 2 door hatch....better known as an Aspire.

TrailBlazer is mine and the Impala is the wifes.

Ha, yeah right. Beaters are nice to run into snow banks with.

This


With these

04 RSX

BTW lightweight no snowtire FWD sucks in the winter

can't drive in the snow normally, like its a pain if the streets aren't plowed

and you can't mess aroud very well.

Right. I used to have a Rsx Type S and it did pretty good in the snow with some all season tires. Then again, I never had it in more than a few inches. Deeper snow could have been a very different story.

Haha yea up here in La Crosse they suck at plowing streets

Either this



Or this

Venza V6 AWD when it snows and the Corolla when there's no snow on the roads.

Yes being light weight and not having snow tires suck in the winter

Sadly, I still drive my 09 challenger in the winter, but part of it is we are saving money for a house and if I can just squeak through this winter with the challenger. it really helps improve my chances of escaping this hell hole!

Do you drive on 14 once and a while Micky?

I think I saw one a week or so ago and laughed. I was like why would you drive such a sweet car in the winter!


There is a guy with a 370z here that doesn't have a winter car... shame.

Saving money for a house is a good idea though
Have you heard of the USDA loan? No down payment and no PMI payments. It's only for small towns around Madison.

Nope, not down that way. Thanks for the info, I am very aware of the USDA loans. We are in our lease until August anyway. Part of our way of looking at it is that even with those loans, we want to put some money in up front. Typically, property rises in value at a rate of 4 to 8 percent, so to us money upfront is sort of like an investment. Plus it gives us more freedom to look at houses.

Mike

Didn't the gov also extend the tax credit?

That's cool. Yeah we just bought our house in Sept with the USDA loan. It's going to take a while to build up some equity haha.

Yes. They also included current home owners looking to upgrade, they can get a $6500 credit.

Anyone want to buy a house, mines for sale.

Barrington place apartments. Yup, its an ok place to live, but the rent is high and apartment managers act like gestapo.
