This is my second winter with the car. So far, I’ve made it through two snowstorms this year and have only gotten stuck once. I was able to back down from an incline and cheat my way through the intersection with some momentum lol.

Just recently before the 2nd one hit, I added 120lbs of weight in the back with sandbags and that seemed to have helped a lot:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Anyways, I just cleaned er’ up today and have noticed 3 areas of concern:

One is a heavy scratch caused by something in the lower part of the passenger door that now has a bit of corrosion starting. The second is a bit of surface rust starting behind a plastic cap (presumably hiding a bolt) in the B pillar on the passenger side as well.

The third concern is the paint being chipped and peeling away from the lower valences around the car. This spring, I think I might be lazy and pay someone to heavily detail the exterior and perform some paint correction.

They’re my winter wheels. Heavy, but they work.

My roommate Dogapult is running Dodge Charger steelies for his winter tires on his G35.

No, not the styled steelies. Just the conventional 17" ones with hubcaps.

this winter made me realize I could really use a dedicated set of winter wheels and tires.
