A bit scary when theres rows of trees on either side.

One of those I wish I took my beater and cursed the damn weatherman for lying to me days.

I bet! I used to take my old 90 hatchback sliding in the snow when there was no one else out! Lost a few front bumpers and a radiator from snow piles pulling them off! Great fun!

Yeah, It was a lot more fun with my $2,000 240sx..

Now with my 20k+ car its a bit more nerve-wracking..

We have a few cars on the lot like that
MazdaSpeed 3
Mazda RX-8
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8

none of those are test drivable during the winter.

Yeah, I bet! My 90 civic was only like $1000 so it wasn't like I'd be loosing much as it wouldn't have much resale either way!!
