You probably have ABS. Slam on the brakes in the snow and see if it kicks in! But I guess you don't have snow... nevermind.

In the driver's side front fender there should be an ABS box with a bunch of brake lines running in and out of it, it's silver and sits near the AC dryer/canister. You'll also see the lines running in the engine bay near the cam gears that go to the ABS box. On startup you should also see the ABS light flash for a second and turn off.

The ABS light does not come on during start im positive on that one, so it possibly doesn't have it but ill look into the lines and box.. This car has been kinda weird from the start though, i have never seen an AWD 2g with no sunroof before.

Now you've seen two without the sunroof:

The sunroof was an option, one that I'm glad I'm lacking (lower center of gravtiy). Whoever the original owner was, he had his priorities right. The only options he got were performance-based (and I have the dealer's window sheet to prove it).

If the ABS light doesn't come on, the light could be broken. Otherwise a delete was likely done. I swear to god it was standard.

EDIT: NVRM, I checked. ABS is an option.

There was less than an inch here in Shoreview. Pretty lame.

very light amount in St. Paul. The main streets are clear already, just some medium sprinkles in the back alleys.

Blaine sucks, no snow at all.
I was in class at Century and it started snowing. It got me all excited, then class ended and snow was gone. Barely an inch.

Either way I wouldn't be able to enjoy it. My clutch disk just blew on me, again. There goes my winter fun I've always enjoyed.

Finally got some measurable amount of snow up here in D-town and I must say holy shit batman is that fun! AWD has got to be the sweetest F'ing thing ever. I made every parking lot and steep hill my bitch for about two hours tonight. Just a freaking blast!
