It's cold here, but I swear it's warmer out when it's raining.
I'm not really concerned anymore though, I borrowed some money so now I can afford to drive to the store instead of walking fuck yeah.

How far is this store? Arcor THE jacket and Memsa THE mittens might be somewhat more cost effective.

Like two blocks away.
And I was layered out to the nines today, boots, mittens, scarf, the works. I was still fucking cold, and I'm not accustomed to cold.
Now I can bomb to the store in my little shitbox instead so I'm satisfied.

I am intrigued by how this looks like in real life. I currently almost envision a colourful marshmallow trundling along the street.

The main difference is that ASRs are used almost all the time and people "save up" snow tires. Which means in general, snow tires have tread, but someone on ASRs may have burned through most of their tread during the summer/autumn prior to winter.

Ive had brand new All-Seasons and brand new Snows, snow tires will always be better in the snow. There is a joke with All-Seasons, "They are equally shitty, in all seasons." I dont buy them, I have summer tires and winter tires and switch between them. But Ive also driven in over a foot of snow in a small car, it helps a lot, trust me.

I've done the same in an Acura EL 1.6 I used to own. That thing had like 3 inches of clearance. I got stuck a lot, but rarely had to do with the tires. Mainly to do with clearance issues of the car.
I know snow tires have increased abilities in the winter. I'm not denying that. Just saying anyone should be able to drive a car with ASRs. To me, snow tires are like cheating. It's one thing to admit you need the increased performance, it's another to believe you're skillful because your abilities to handle the weather exceeds that of others. Snow tires aren't normalizing, they're performance enhancing.
I know I can drive better with snows. I'm just stubborn in the sense that I believe ASRs are adequate and the practice on them give me an edge the moment I swap to snows.
