Winter?

[maharaj]

A couple days ago it dawned on me, I'm really glad that I live in Florida. Seriously, I can drive my car year round, top down and not feel like I am being forced to drive my car.

Where are some of the interesting places that you live and do you have to store your car for the winter or do you still try to get it out in the snow? I know, Florida has spoiled me.

I didn't drive my old BRG for a few days 2 winters ago.

I have my summer Miata and my winter Miata. A Miata with snow tires is always a good time. Every time it snows I try to make it out to do some sliding around. In last winter's thread I posted some videos of sliding the Miata around. Will probably have more this year.

I'm ready


It's so much damn fun, you FL guys are missing out

Is that this year already, Shane?


I did not store my black miata, it was rusty. My BRG isn't so no winter miata fun for me...once I sell the black one.

Now what about the 'warmth' with a soft top?

[shane]

This year last season, I have same setup now but i need to raise the fronts, there's not much wheel well clearance

Here's a vid from last season

Not a problem. Every Miata I've owned has had a fantastic heater. I drove my '96 all year when I lived in Nebraska & Iowa without a hard top.

Couple pics of last season.. Still have to put my winter wheels on for this year but looking forward to the first snow fall

anyone know how well an open differential fares in the snow/ice? i wanna try sliding around in it when and if it snows; got studded tires from last year.

[psulja]

I always thought I had an open diff but now I'm questioning that and will have to double check. But if mine is open then it really isn't an issue, a tonne of fun can still be had.

And I've purposely put my car in some deep snow and have yet to get stuck.

The downside to driving a miata in the winter is the RUST. At least for me... the miata is tucked away already. The funny part is that I don't have a real garage, however I do have a large shed. (Her little cave!)

I drive mine year-round since it's my DD. I hate winter itself, but being able to drive the miata and do some "drifting" in parking lots makes it more tolerable.

Yea, I guess that would be my concern as well especially with the salt.

I finally moved to Denver, and the temps have been in the mid 60's during daytime! I'll use the Taco 4X4 when the winter arrives!
