Western Canada Owners Advice?

[resolute]

hi yall, I am wondering the feasibility of daily driving a Supra year round as my only vehicle.

curious if there is anyone else in Western Canada who has conquered the winter and has anything to say.

There’s a couple guys here in Alberta that drive year round.

are you one of them? if not are you an Alberta Supra driver?

what are your thoughts for this being my sole daily driver in Edmonton? Studded tires + sandbags in the back viable?

Yeah I’m in Reddeer, but no I’m not one of the guys that drive it year round. I would think a good set of tires/sandbags you’d be good to go, I’d just be scared of other drivers on the road

Maybe not the answer you are looking for but I daily my 2.0 in Metro Vancouver and ski often at Whistler.
I didn't like the idea of putting racks on the Supra so I made sure I could fit my ski bag inside the car before purchasing which is possible thanks to the open trunk concept.
Here's a pic for reference. I can even use the stick to shift if I want to as the bag doesn't get on the way at all.

I'm a short guy so my skis are only 161cm long but here's a pic for reference. I can even use the stick to shift if I want to as the bag doesn't get on the way at all.

thanks for the reply and pic. how is driving up the hill?

A breeze since the Sea to Sky hwy is very well maintained.
Haven't driven it under snowy road conditions yet and probably won't have to since we don't get that much snow around here at city level.
But since it's a light weight RWD I agree with the sandbags and proper tires and you should be ok

I suppose I could take a dump facing the tank, but why would I when I can just sit front side forward?
