What's your winter car?
What's your winter car?
Supras aren't so dangerous in the snow if they're not TT, preferably not auto (someone made an excellent point, you have better acceleration speed control in a manual at low speed) and you don't have wide wheels, low profiles and much bigger wheels than the standard stock ones ... or any low kit/exhausts ..... unfortunately, most of us supra peoples have all or most of the above

I'm not an Outlaw; I'm a Poutlaw! Purple Supras are the bestest! I love purple .. a lot lot lot

The day the snow comes is the day my 350z goes into hibernation and my boots with snow chains come out lol she's too skittish for snow, I got caught out on a greasy road let alone an icy one lol thankfully I only drive once a week anyway as I get a train to work
