All kidding aside, I like the TBSS. My neighbor has one that is AWD and smoked my g37 w/ full exhaust and CAI. He had all bolt ons and I couldn't catch traction.
A bit more snow. My buddy with a 4x4 f-150 was impressed that I didn't get stuck

I've been stuck behind the gravel/salt/plow trucks on the expressway before with my '02 car. The front clip has certainly taken some paint damage from that.
One time I got stuck behind the gravel dumper for about 5-10 miles before I was able to pass. The entire front of my car was caked in rocks, to the point where it looked less like a car and more like an unpaved alley. Thankfully, the front had first been caked in ice and snow before I came up on the plow truck so all those rocks never hit the paint. Coulda been ugly otherwise.

I don't know about you guys, but my car doesn't get around at all in the rain. I bought a Trans Am because it is built for performance, not driving around in the rain/snow/sleet. I drive it whenever I can when I KNOW it is going to be nice out while I have it out. Besides that, it sits in the shed. I've got other things to take care instead of cleaning up my car every-other day just to keep it nice. My $2,500 beater does its job getting better gas mileage and saving my paint/under-body
*Not having enough money is no excuse if you currently own an F-Body. If you are truly poor, do the economical thing: sell your car, buy a Civic. You didn't get in this game to save money, because these cars cost a lot to properly maintain.
