Default Winter blues?

Anyone else just find themselves hating where they live, staring at the car sitting under its cover in the garage, and wishing they were able to just whip it out and drive south?

Man, this past summer was such a blast, Canadian winter can just kiss my ass.

How do you guys take your mind off such things until the spring? I guess the only plus side is I'll be able to save a bit and get new tires, windshield, and a PC and detail supplies for the summer since I don't need to insure the car past vandalism, fire, and theft protection...

Hmm, 75 and sunny here today. I'll be driving top down, so I'm pretty happy with where I live!

We had 6" of snow yesterday. They are predicting 12"-18" on Sunday. I haven't driven the car since Halloween. To make matters worse, I drove to Florida Thanksgiving week to buy a motorcycle that I immediately put into storage when I got home.

Dunlop Wintersport M3 - drive in the ice and snow, no reason to wait until spring.

I'm feeling it too. We don't get much snow but the weather is pretty miserable none the less. I bought my S last July and I already find myself wanting a 4x4 so I can go play in the snow and do some shooting in the mountains.

My parents think im crazy but I also ride a sportbike in the winter, the skinny tires cut through the snow like razors.

Big snowstorm up here yesterday. I left work early to go home, drove on the snow on backroads 32 miles, no problemo. Drove in this AM on plowed but still snowy and icy roads, again no prob.

Like the above ^^^ I'm on Dunlop WinterSports, M3/3D.

I find driving an S2000 helps.

I just drive the darn thing. I expect that it will make $2000 difference in the resale value in two or three years, but darn it, I like me, and I'm worth it!

10 minutes of top-down driving in 32 degrees or less will cure a migraine.

Just be careful; if your eyes get too cold they might stop working.
