Tigerpaw Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Took the Boulevard out in the flurries for 15 minutes and a fuel tank top-off today, in jeans and summer gear.... Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I'll remove it's lead acid battery and bring it in the house. Leaving the heated gear and Li-ion battery(it does well in cold) on the 300 for random warm days.

Gixxus Christ! Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Drove the wife's new subaru legacy to work this morning. It was like driving on dry pavement. I tried to make it slip a few times and it refused. Passed 3 cars in ditches or smashed into guard rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Tried to do donuts in my wife's 300, it refused. Traction control + blizzak = no sliding fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'm seriously considering selling my 07 sentra and buying an older legacy or imprezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 do you have snow tires? I wouldn't be so quick to give up FWD economy for the handful of days a year where AWD is really needed. It's always helpful, I just don't like the mileage sacrifice.

Gixxus Christ! Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Sentra gets about 26. Our brand new legacy also gets 26. That's city tho. She took it to Dayton and it got 35 or so. Having trouble finding one that doesn't have a ton of miles. The sentra has 102k miles and I'm the 2nd owner. Found an 05 legacy with 137k on cl for 5 grand.

gsxkat1100 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I would offer to be the third owner of the sentra, but my feet are too big in my boots I wear for work to hit the gas pedal with anything but my toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsxkat1100 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I wear my boots everyday. I am more comfortable in them and they are still presentable enough to pass in the office environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsxkat1100 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I miss the hell out of it, but this is what is best for my kids. It came down to miss the floor work, or miss my kids. I would rather work on my own shit to keep busy and be able to teach my kids all about it than never see them like it was before I got this job.

wantahertzdonut Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'm seriously considering selling my 07 sentra and buying an older legacy or imprezzaJust don't go too old. I had a 96 Legacy with not many miles and it was rotting everywhere so bad it needed to be junked. My sister has an 01 Impreza and the front subframe was so rotted it required replacement last year. They have great drivetrains but do not hold up to salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Is car cancer still an issue for subies? Might need to get the legacy rust proofed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxkat1100 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Car cancer is an issue in Ohio no matter what. Just take a look at my truck. My next truck will have rustproofing done no matter what. I'm tired of vehicles rusting out before the engine is broken in. The engine in my truck has 207k and will probably run another 100k, but the body looks like it has 500k on it. I. Hate. Rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Both my Chevy's have around 135k on them (05 and a 07), my 98 Pontiac I sold 2 years ago had 188k on it. No garage, never seen the point of washing them much in the winter and non of them have a spec of body cancer on them. I think chevy has it figured out now. Now this isn't bashing any other brands, I'm (I hate this phrase) "just sayin " Edited November 18, 2014 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.504 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I broke down and bought a snow blower.I spent way more than I intended.Did the driveway last night and I have to say, that snow blower was worth every penny. 100 yard driveway that's double lane and opens up into a 4 car wide pad in the back... 45 minutes.I bet I could call off work and make more money running this thing up and down the neighborhood than showing up to work when it's snowy.
