Anybody in Michigan?
 

My gf is considering moving to MI to attend schools. She'll probably choose from Grand Rapids, Lansing, or Auburn Hills to live in.

I have never been to MI before. How's the weather? Does she need a 4WD? She lived in Chicago before so how does that compare?

How's the people? Are they nice?

She drives an MR-2. I think I need to get her a Dodge Ram because some of the school buildings are blocks from the Chrysler headquarter. I can already see angry Chrysler workers beating up her car :bash:

The winters in Michigan are pretty brutal. I live near grand rapids. An mr2 is not a smart car to have in michigan winters. Summers are fine of course. You dont have to have 4wd but it would be better. The bare neccesity is a fwd with good all season tires and good tread on them. Snow tires would be even better.

Yeah its bad but not terrible I live in auburn hills

michigan
 

Yeah I'm from battle creek, michigan and the winters are best to have a truck with 4x4 because sometimes can get bad. but one of my best friends own a MR2 and his winter car is a 01 monte carlo

I live near flint. i would say that the winters are pretty comparable to chicago. FWD is all you need up here

Give me her number ill look after her for you. I have a big 4x4.

Just messing with you. Yeah you need to get her the dodge ram. The winters in the area are horrible my old crx was worthless in the snow

i live in grand blanc, about an hour north of detroit, but yeah here in michigan you need sumthin snow worthy lol

So have you already moved up? Does anyone in Michigan know of any 240's for sale preferably an s14?

shit this thread is old as hell!

I live in grand rapids, and as far as i know there is really no way to drive your car in a track environment besides auto x. There is gratten and gingerman but from what i hear its expensive and they are strict as hell, must have track experience and no drifting. Does anyone know a place were you can practice driving besides auto x? Its not that i wont auto x i just want to get some legit track experience as well.

Project A. Spec Racing and Drift Crew is were all the real peeps go.

also INDY, OHIO,KY, C Town peeps go there.

people drift in michigan?!?!

nahh....thats crazy talk!
