I live in Ohio. Daily driver is definately the S2k. But I'm sure you all know how the car reacts to snow/heavy rain so I do keep a beater for that reason only. I drive a CRX-HF when the weather is too bad. Bought that little bugger over 3 yrs ago when I got rid of the Civic Si in order to get a Ford Lightning. Never bought the Lightning...went and test drove one, did the finance and walked away. To this day I dont really know why, but glad I did. Drove the "cockroach" as i call it, for 3 years and have never put a dime into it other than a aftermarket axle and timing belt. Car is probably the best I've ever had as far as beaters go. Gets almost 50mpg in the summer and still 40mpg in the winter. 8 Gallon tank/400 miles per tank=me laughin at suckers paying 50$ per fill up with their gas guzzlin SUV's (especially my darling wife..lol)
