I love the snow and awd! Easy to break loose, easy to gain traction. I got stuck once, trying to back out of my parents driveway half way up a semi-steep hill then trying to go UP. Ended up reversing down hill instead, hahaha. I didnt drive much, but my gas went down a lot quicker than usual :D

Or like that video with the crazy arabs who slide on their sandals going like 60mph, gotta slide on your feet with the door open while you are drifting!

On Sunday I had to drive back to Iowa in the g/f's ZX2, that sucked a lot. On the way out of the city I-35 got a little backed up around Burnsville and traffic stopped on a slight uphill. When I tried to accelerate the tires would just spin at 1 or 2% throttle, it was bad, took me over a minute to go 100 feet.

But I'm pretty sure it was mostly the fault of the crappy tires, it took a long time to stop from just 10mph, I thought I was going to hit the truck in front of me, stopped a few feet short luckily.

I haven't seen snow over an inch in tennessee in years... Kinda wish I could play in a rental car in a snowy parking lot whenever I go skiing... maybe next year.

my car was weird. On the way home saturday night, there was no major shakes. I didn't drive at all sunday, then on the way to work this morning, the whole car was shaking like crazy. I'm guessing the snow must have settled in the rims?

Yup, probably. Take it through a car wash and see if the warm water can melt some snow/ice off the car.

Why is it when we get a little snowfall half the cars on the road get 35% dumber, while the other half thinks its armagedon and the world is ending.

I think your 35% figure is a little generous.

I second that, There are way too many people that shouldn't be driving in the snow.

Saturn spun out in front of me while going home on 35E.

Scary...

Other then that, fun snow to drive in!

I drove home at 9:00pm, there were no plows on the road. What gives? Traffic was so bad today you would have thought they would have been out earlier.

Yeah took me 2 1/2 to get home last night, I left a half an hour early hoping I could still get home by 5... not a chance.

It took me 20 minutes to get home instead of the usual 10. :)

Oh yeah, heated underground parking FTW!!!

Took me an hour to get from 169/394 to Brookdale Mitsu (5-6pm) with the loaner car (07 mazda 6) and then 10 min to get home with the speed6. Then a fun 30 min blowing the driveway again with the Silver Sherman Tank.

2.25 hours to get home, 1.75 hours to get to work this morning (usually 1.5 hours and 1 hour).

Even normally that's a long ass time, do you battle traffic or are you just that far away?
