Happy Holidays! - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

FreeRider · 12-21-2008, 06:36 PM

I haven't been on the local forums for a while so thought I'd drop in and wish everybody a safe and Happy Holidays! And a prosperous (especially considering the current economic climate) New Year!

Anybody interested in finding a huge, featureless lot so that we can go play winter rally racer with all this snow?

Best Wishes to you and your families!

Surprisingly my GT Exclaim UHP's did really well in the snow today. I should get some real winter tires though.

My 6 is in the garage away from the snow since early last night. Drive safe everyone, and have a happy holiday!

My 6 with Bridgestone all-seasons did really really crappy in this weather. Lesson learned, next time just suck it up and get a set for winter and a set of performance summer tires.

All seasons seem to compromise too much to the point they become below average in both winter and non-winter conditions, but with the benefit of working year round. Besides, its time for a set of 18" rims this summer

Merry Christmas, all! My Pirelli Nero M+S all seasons are awesome in the snow. I have had no problems with them.

Looks like Rain is coming this weekend along with warmer weather.

i can't even get out of my back alley. my tires are shot, and i can't even get the car out to a shop to get some new tires.

bah humbag.

My winter tires worked well. Didn't get stuck. The only issue I had is that I didn't have enough ground clearance. I'd consider getting a Mazda SUV, unfortunately, the only manual transmission one that is available is the 2WD Tribute. So, if I ever decide on an SUV, bye bye Mazda.

lol yes my car is a snow plow. I was driving it until today which is crazy snow!!! My stockers are actually not horrible, just gotta lay off the accelerator. For next year I'll most likely have to swap them for new all seasons since don't think this year will happen every year. Car's nice and dry in the garage but stuck at home .. bored to death and couldn't get out for any boxing day sales lol.

And with our dollar so crappy don't want to get the aux mod thingy either =\

Happy holidays everyone!

Yeah, stuck at home. This is when I really wish I bought a 2000 4Runner instead of my 6...*sigh*...well, at least because I got the 6, I got to meet all of you here.
