New to the forums. Currently have a BMW 330xi as my vehicle to get to the mountain. See where that's a problem? More than a couple inches on the road and I am screwed..
Looking for input on what vehicles you all drive to the mountain. I have about 12k to put into this. Maybe more.
my buddie is going to be my ride next season, when possible. he's getting an awd minivan- perfect snowboard vehicle. i personally will be taking moms accord.
I like this thread, a lot of great pics and ideas. I am very surprised that no one has mentioned one of the greatest overall snow vehicles there is (one of which I'm planning on picking up soon),the Subaru Forester XT. Unlike the lame, soccer-mom-ish Foresters, this somewhat rarer version is equipped with the same 2.5-ltr turbocharged engine as the Subaru WRX STI and many performance upgrades, including a (slightly smaller) TMIC and Turbo; so basically, you get (almost)STI performance and ample people/cargo room while avoiding the crazy insurance and cop attention that you get with an STI. Dropped slightly on coilovers, they look agressive and sexy too.Its also very mod-able, and you can do just about anything you like with an XT, from making a smooth-driving, comfy, speedy daily driver, to a crazy 600hp beast of a race-wagon... Anyways, Here is a buddy's '05 Xt geared up to hit the slopes, the visible mods are obviously the Yakima Skybox, the rims, and the larger, STI hood scoop. I think it looks awesome:
:laugh: sorry for the clutter then, ran across that pic and got so excited I just posted it w/o looking around, great attention to detail though lmao!!
Thanks, and ya the iX's are pretty hard to find, especially in a 5 speed.
I looked for over half a year for the perfect car, I was acutally talking to Nic Drago at one point to buy his out in Colorado, but he decided to keep his.
Kept looking and found this one on Portland's craiglist. Flew up, bought it, and drove it down to the SF Bay Area the next day.
Super happy with it.
Very nice!!! I'm looking to swap my 05 Mazda 6 GT for an 06/07 MS6 to get the awd. The lease was up on my CX7 GT and the Fiancee wanted to get the new 6 so now I'm awdless and and fiending for some snow drifting.
I'm probably the wrong person to ask, but I drive a Buick Riviera. I'm a big fan of driving what feels like your living room couch wherever I need to go. And if I do get stuck, I have a heated seat and CAA.
No worries.
