Ok, I know many people probably hate the fact that this car would be in the snow, or even that it's taboo, but let me tell you, there is no other car that I would rather have then this car. I spent 3 hrs getting home yesterday in the massive blizzard we had, white out conditions, and did not have issues at all. Not sure if the 20s helped it or not, which I didn't thnk there would be any way that they would, but if they did I definitely am glad that I had this configuration. If the 18s are even better, I congratulate the people that have them and drive in the snow if they have to.

Yesterday I went past a ditched focus, some other old car that the person wasn't in or even around, a bus and a taxi. A Firebird from Wyoming was all over the road, his back end kept getting loose, and a taxi driver thought that he had to nail the gas every time he started from a stop and I thought for sure I was going to get stuck behind him when he ditched his car. He didn't get stuck, surprisingly, but as I said above, a little further up the road there was another taxi that was ditched and someone was bailing them out. Love the non native taxi drivers, or any other native/non native that drive like idiots in this stuff. Take it easy, it's not worth it, accident or getting stuck.

Now people might complain about the weight of this car, but I can say, I'm glad I had it today and yesterday. With the Mustang it was a nightmare. Either the traction control would kick in so much that the car would pretty much die, or if I shut it off then I would be all over the place, with the rear end sliding, or just the tire spinning. Getting out of a parking spot was a joke, this was two years ago during out last major storm just before Christmas. Then getting stuck in a restaraunt parking spot, another embarassing moment.

This morning, I slid a couple times, no more then my wife in her Avenger or a Focus up the way, actually a lot less then the Focus since the person parked forward instead of backward, and had no trouble on the main roads, unless I did it on purpose. I have to say the ESP, while on, is very generous, maybe a little to generous, when it comes to sliding though.

So for those of us who can afford only one car, though I'm looking to sell this since I can't unfortunately, this is definitely the one sports car I am happy to have year around. I'm curious how the Camaro is going to handle. Though these aren't designed to be in the winter mainly, I am very pleased to have it.
