Kenosha, WI here. Where are you?
I'm editing this because I noticed, AFTER I posted, that you are from Appleton. I'm originally from Fond du Lac. The local dealers can't keep these nifty cars in stock so there must be a few more of us.

I lived in Edgerton, WI for a year. First time I ever saw snow was there.
Wow, I just realized this was about 14 years ago!

I'm old.

No, it isn't. We should do a regional meet before summer ends. How long have you had your Yaris? I'm curious how my HB will do in the snow.

There's been talks of a meet in Ohio for midwest ppl. It's about 4 hours from IL.. eh 4 hours ain't so bad used to take 3 hours and 30 mins to go from school up to northern illinois

Here in Houlton, WI. Just across the river from Stillwater, MN. Age 35.

Not many Yarii here yet. Only see one a week or so.

Hellooooo Wisconsin :) My first winter with a Yaris Sedan.... anyone have experiences last winter with the Yaris in snow? Wondering what lies ahead. Thanks.

toad · 10-23-2008, 06:19 PM

i was up in milwaukee for business last winter and my liftback handled the snow just fine for the two weeks i was there. i was using just the stock tires(goodyears) and still getting used to a manual transmission, but i didn't have any problems. i think it's more the DRIVER than the car in most cases.

SIPNGAS · 10-23-2008, 07:42 PM

Had my Yaris all winter...lots of snow..I did FINE! =) Just drive smart.

I'm also getting used to MANUAL TRANSMISSION, and I had my first brush with inclement weather heading home from Chicago yesterday. I encountered some massive snow flakes through the Kenosha-Racine stretch of I-94. Not enough to accumulate, but my first thought was, "Well...here goes!!"

On a side note, I didn't kill the car ONCE while heading into Chicago and getting caught up in some stop-n-go traffic on the Edens Expy!! PROGRESS!!

smofskra · 10-30-2008, 06:41 PM

Fuckin hell. Hackers suck. Now i have to add all muh pics again. Its goin to take me a while because I dont have an internet connection.

DavidinWisconsin · 10-30-2008, 07:03 PM

Yup, saw snow in the air here, too. 'Tis the season, won't be long now til the "white death" falls with accumulation. I have a manual too (sedan) and have gotten used to the clutch. It had a little strange feel at first, but now its second nature and I don't think when I'm using it.

Glad you made it through Chicago, Ok. The only thing I hate worse than driving through Chicago in my car, is navigating it on my motorcycle.

Everybody dodge deer.. it is that season here now, too. No new bambi hood oranaments!

m911gt · 10-30-2008, 08:25 PM

^^ I was pretty close to having a close call with a big Bambi yesterday. I'd rather hit big snow flakes than deer any day. Hopefully we won't have as much snow as we had last season.
