New Toy To Keep My C63 Warm During The Winter

Well... In a warm dry garage that is. Now I don't have to worry about salt damage!

3 day old 2013 Mini Cooper S.... Already lowered on KW V1s, AFE intake, Pirelli winter tires and wheels and tires for the summer.

I test drove the Fiat Abarth.... Go for the WRX.

I was going to get the John Cooper Works Mini but that would have been overkill for winter driving hahahaha.

Hahaha yeah those ones get pretty pricey too! Aren't KWs over kill for winter driving too? LOL

Why didn't you like the Abarth? It looks so cool! Haha haven't test drove it yet though. WRX is sure really nice to drive but costs a little more than the Abarth and a lot more common around here.

I get my KWs for next to nothing =O)

The Abarth just didn't feel good (driving wise) The interior felt really cheap. WRX has four wheel drive and is probably much better for the winter.

You know you're baller when you drive a modded Mini as winter beater!! j/k LOL

Not a fan of Mini, too much black plastic trims... but it still a stylish car for winter.

my wife bananas! :D
still think the c63 makes a decent winter car. I had a blast during the last snow dump. plus the bark of the cold start is much more aggressive in the winter

and dude, where you are... do you even see snow on the roads before the public snow plows come clean it out? haha

I saw on instagram that you are getting mods for your C63 during this winter as well

So you get KW's for next to nothing eh?

Wanna get me a good deal on KW's for a 2012 GTI? :P

Thanks everyone

My old car club was the official Team Bridgestone Tires of North America and later on KW Suspensions and Motul oil jumped on board as secondary sponsors....

So whenever I get a new car They hook it up BIG time. Unfortunately it is just limited to me and a few of my old teammates.

I suggest going to Arsha at Vivid. He's a great guy to deal with and I'm sure he can hook it up too!
