Sorry about the file size, I tried to make them small.

Ah, a little snow is nothing! It builds character!

Actually we have very few of the stuff here in Minnesota these days, rather unusually. All of them are deposited way East of here, it seems!

I was shoveling the stuff all day long today, didnt have to go to the gym after that We got something like two feet. The people across the street worked fast and got done in an hour or two, then the snow plow came by and dumped a load on them, kept them busy.

I imagine it is so you don't have to spend so much time scraping ice/snow off of it...

We probably got between 2 1/2 to 3 feet of snow here.

The one on the left is a 2003, and the one on the right is a 94. I cleaned the 94 off the day before too when there was already like 12 inches on it.

Great in snow!

I drove through the snow in the middle of the storm and the Max handled GREAT. It has a good weight to it. Feels good in the snow. I was on the road with nothing but SUV's and city trucks. I did get stuck once, but that was because I chose a bad line on this one road in NJ. After putting the shovel to work I was going just fine. I LOVE IT! At one point I was messing around e-break and a cop was right behind me and I was sure I was going to get a ticket or something, but he didnt do anything. (Must have thought I was out of control?) I want 20 more inches of snow! Then I can do doughnuts ALL day!

talking of driving through snow in a max...early last spring me and two friends drove in my maxima through wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio during a snow storm that was sweeping these 4 states (night /early morning). I guess the authorities in these states were not expecting the storm and i guess didnt salt the raods. I loved the way the third gen handled in those 8-10 inches of snow on the highways...i was passing cops leading packs of cars at slow speeds and i was sure they couldnt catch me that day

after wisconsin....besides the usual semis, my max was the only car on the road!!...i saw all sorts of SUVs and cars in ditches or being helped by tow trucks. (saw too many tow trucks that day)..

we made the 21 hour trip to long island, new york with no problems whatsoever with only fuel stops.

Yeah my buddy says the same thing, "when ya gonna get ride of that pine strip", he has a super white 91se and that thing looks mint, people always ask where he got it painted at. I'm like damn I still like it. I agree though an all black car looks very sweet. I really dont wanna use rubbing compound to remove the pinstrip, Im worried about removeing some of the clear coat.



The car does handle really well in the snow, but the car is dropped pretty hard so I'm a little worried about ground clearance and snow pileing up under the fender well.

Yup, but the front is just slammed. I like it though, it makes the car more aggressive looking with the front slightly lower than the rear. My trunk is empty (no spare), but I figure when a box is back there it will even it out a bit.


My friend with the 91se has eibachs but with stock struts, his is even lower. The gas charged tokicos hold my car up a bit.
