We put an oversized set tire chains on ours once and it worked very well ( as well as a car with chains on it will..).

I told my wife that I'd have to take her Saturn on snowy days "because it has traction control". I stayed away from the whole "because I knowingly bought a cool sports car that sucks in the snow, knowing I have to drive 70 miles one way in the Colorado winter". I hope she dosen't catch on... :lol:

so then your wife is going to be driving the supra to the grocery store on snow days ?
shrewd ;) lol

Nope. Reason I got a 5 speed is She Can't Drive Em! Once I get rid of the back seats, It'll be all mine! No wife or kids allowed!

She'll just have to deal with it. Considering I bought her her 05 L300 as a gift.

Yeah I gave mine the '02 RSX type S...she drives the $20,000 car, I get the Supra and AE86 to play around w/...

well put some weight in your trunk and go hard, its just like a truck. well for me that is, i live in canada and we have alot longer and more fierce winters than you do so i'm just use to it.

True, winters up there are harsh. We get our first snow fall in October usually, and it dosen't end till May. Then we get them fluke June and July snowstorms...

So you drive the Supra in the Snow? What's your trick? I know you said weight it down and something else I didn't quite get...do you use sandbags? Cat Litter?

Well considering your question, I think i might be of help,,, WHy ???? i live in winterpeg manisnowba canada (winnipeg manitoba) and yeah the winters here are almost always 8 months long, and most of the time the snow can get up to a few feet deep, but good ol city workers sand the streets, so i don't see how it would be any harder... i mean well there's the obviouse, cause it's snowy weather, but idon't plan on any highway driving in the winter, just local driving, and the car i was driving before i got my avenger, was a standard accord, ol 88 one, and it wasn't that hard to drive at all, i mean for a high performance car like the supra AND with it's weight i can see how it would be a little tricky, but i really think everyone is over exagerating here, it's just snow, i've lived here my whole life, and drivin a standard 8 months of the year in winter, HARSH WINTER!!! for the last two till i got my avenger and it's fine, just be carefull, and know your vehicle, anyways, hope i helped, ttyl... :D :D :D

Does added weight really help?
 

When it snows I the SUPRA does NOT go out. Although I once drove home when it was just starting and i hit the tems on and stayed in 2nd gear. Where I live it doesn't snow all that much but when it does LOOKOUT! My neighborhood is nuthin but hills (with no sidewalks i might add lol) you leave my house going down and come back going up the hills. I once drove it in the snow when i first had got it and didn't know anything about it. Well long story short i was going 20mph gently tapped the brakes and definitely didn't slow down (the car in front of me stopped me) got stuck three times coming up the hills and one time took 2 hours to shovel it out when i got stuck. But does added weight really help? i know that the fact that the engine is front end and the drive is rear doesnt help but how much added weight? cuz i don't see much of a difference

hey everyone. up in canada bc here and we just got our first snowfall intown.. I bought my supra(89 turbo) about a month ago and it came with all seasons on.. so i figured id make it through the season just driving around town. but this morning when i left home for school.. i took the the same left that i do every day but this time i was suprised by a nice 180.. so now im going to invest in some sand but the question is how much weight? I had planned to go up snowboarding tomorrow because its opening day at the hill but i dont know whether to go in my supra or with my friend in his tempo with bald tires(the road should be plowed/sanded for my way up)... and does anyone got any tips for driving 5spd in the snow? i found out the hard way not to downshift to 2nd for those corner turns..
