So, what's YOUR winter setup look like?
 
Since I know all of us have to deal with the snow, and not all of us are lucky enough to have a second car .. I'm curious to see what everyone's winter setups look like!

So, duh, I'll start.

Just winterized my G35 Coupe today. I have 18" OEM 350Z wheels (painted gunmetal) with Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3 tires, I painted my OEM grill black, put in some charcoal all-weather floor mats, and have a load of lead shotgun pellets in the trunk!

Pictures are pretty awful. The lighting is bad and my car needs a bath.

Just like last year. I do have my Honda this year as well. Both have all seasons.

Due to the recent changes in my automobile situation, nothing...

But before, it was this:

Extra weight over the rear wheels .. running under the theory that it'll improve traction. Figure it can't hurt, my wimpy 100-pound self doesn't do much to weigh the car down.

And the shotgun pellets took up a lot less room than sandbags! :wink:

I was gonna drive my MR2 in the snow with Blizzaks but instead, I came to my senses (after all the money into my car lol) and bought a DD Jeep...

Gotta urban camo it a bit with stickers and a snowboard rack. I'll put pics up tomorrow.
