Nice pics Al.
Wife took some today when we drove out to Ditchmond for lunch. I will post them up when she uploads them.

One thing I did notice, I miss my hardtop. =(

......after i dropped of my gf at home this morning, i decided to go out and do some donuts up at the QE park parking lot by the outdoor hockey rink.
before i wanted to do that, i wanted to see how my blizzaks would hold up on hills.....
im not sure what street that is, but its that super steep hill right off of Main St.
YES, i decided to take that route. I swerved 3 times and kicked the rear out a bit...i didnt want to come to a complete stop though because of that incline.....so....4bars of gas gone later, i was able to make it up that hill =D

The S really isnt all that bad in snow surprisingly with snow tires, except for plowing >.<
its actually a lot better than my previous celica, mr2, and my gf's civic which for stuck twice in small street intersections today....

I've been driving mine almost everyday, it handles amazing with the Blizzak WS-60's I have. I have better traction in my S2000 then my gf does with All season tires on her WRX.

The winter tire compounds makes a huge difference. But good job making wrx's look bad

I am stock height with taller than stock tires (215/60/16 vs 205/55/16) and I was plowing the road. There is lots of snow and ice in the front radiator opening and the side fog light slots.
