B C Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 I hate the idea of owning a car that doesn't get driven. I really love to see a car that gets used and damage/wear doesn't stand in the way of the drivers enjoyment. BUT I really do want to keep my E30 rust-free. I also have a distinct fear of some Starbucks sipping SUV mom doing her best impression of a hockey puck into the rear of my E30 at a stoplight on a snowy day. Thus I store my car in the winter and drive my 93 Camry with sideswipe damage. As a bonus, driving the Camry makes the E30 feel like a Veyron with NOS (2 big bottles) when I first bring it back out in the spring. Does yours get parked or does it suffer through the salt?

Ryan... Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 I never drove the M5 or 540i through the winter. I believe only one of my e30s and the e36s saw winter driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Ryan's subaru is already face fucked. I'll be driving my E28 in winter. I don't want to. But I haven't picked up a second car yet. But whatever. time to make my 3 piece fittipaldi reps look amazing. Oh, and I have a fucked front end now, due to someone hitting me. So.. Fuck it. Bring the salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camarok Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 It's a car... drive it. Throw snows on it and it makes for a super fun car to drive in snow. 540's seen winter all it's life, snows make it amazing, and the DSC is very sweet, also much better when turned off... but I know you are talking e30 dsc in action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for my E28's, BMW's in general kick ass in the winter. The E28 has been parked for the winter this year though as I'm gonna start ripping it apart for the rebuild. I just purchased a 1998 C2500 6.5l Turbo Diesel Suburban which will be my daily until the E28 is finished up in the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I drove my first e30 through winter, was terrible until I got snow tires. The wear on the body was terrible, rusted like mad. Never again.The red car will sit in the garage being worked on! I have a 93 blazer for my daily/winter.That DSC video was pretty sweet.

Rowleym Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 i have a 76 CJ7 that my father and I are rebuilding. Until i finish that bad boy, I do not have a car to drive. probably should of thought about that before I tore apart my e30. Oh well..

REKIII Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I drove my 5 the first winter I had it. Caused lots of damage to it and will never do it again, but with the blizzaks, that car would go anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I got the E28 all set up for winter. 16" steelies, on balding continental conti-sports, that TJ wore down to just about the wear bars. Should be exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 E36 tucked away for winter, probably wait a couple weeks to throw the snows on the e46 touring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
