I certainly hope no one is attempting to drive there rx-7 in this weather.  I know the second gens do not like this weather.  I am not sure how the rx-8s fair with the snow.  Anyways Happy Snow day to you all!!!

It's about time we got some decent snow.  I'm having a blast whooping on my civic on the snowy dirt roads!

The Mazda 6 we have is not a fan of the snow.  It has traction trouble when we want to drive normally.  That may be more due to the fact i buy summer cheap tires for it and not proper all season tires.  lol

My FC does well in the snow... when I don't have summer tires on her.  As of now tho, she's parked

I bought a MazdaSpeed 3 just a few weeks ago.... and those summer tires were fear inducing on even the light film of snow that we had before the big stuff arrived. However, the next day the dealer installed the winter wheels and tires that came with the deal and this car has been flying through all the thick stuff! It's even great up snow covered hills (like heading south on Beck Road before 8 mile) while the Explorers are spinning sideways or turning around.

We really should buy good snow tires for our mazda 6, but as long as we go slow we are alright.

Yea, I love the snows I have on my DD Saab; it did fine without most of the time, but the grip and confidence that they give over the all-seasons is definitely worth it
