I Love AWD
 

I sure do love it. We got 4 or 5 inches of snow today in central Jersey. Like usual my school doesnt let me out early and its snowing almost at a rate of 2 inches per hour. Then it starts sleeting and the cars are covered.

All the other cars are spinning their tires struggling to get out and I just pull right out. I had to go home on all straight backroads that werent plowed very much and I had to follow right behind this senior's Camaro SS and he was crawling home at like 10 miles an hour. So I just pull to left and pass him and continue on without any slipping until I got to the main roads.

It was quite a day everyone was all nervous about driving home but I actually looked forward to it.

I also managed to take a few pics.

yeah, AWD pretty much owns. i'll actually be kind of bummed when winter is gone because i won't be able to swing my tail end around corners.. oh well, i suppose there's probably a benefit to predictable, dry roads with no frost heaves :)

I cant imagine living in New England and buying I car I intend to use all year round and not have it be AWD. And since I don't have the bank roll to stock up on Audi (yet) I guess you can call me a Subaru man

Me too...
 

My school got out early as well, on the way home I watched a 300ZX driving sideways and a Mustang whose front wheels weren't moving but the backs were spinning like crazy. AWD still isn't that great in slush though, I went around a slushy bend and started to spin. My tire bounced off the curb and I was fine again.

pics no worky :(

You guys with snow!!! Are so lucky!!!

I haven't seen Snow in a very long time. Especially on the roads! We get a lot of rains here in CA, but the roads don't get that slippery...... sad, he he. (on the good side, the car does not rust, at least something)

Nevermind...I know why it didn't work on my computer.

i want snow dammit !!!!!!!!!!!! that looks to be fun

Let me get a picture of me shoveling you'll change your mind.

I can't wait to have AWD. I am so sick of snow at this point and my Saturn:( sliding around...Actually, I've gotten used to handling it so it doesn't do it that bad, but can't wait to get rid of it!

I'm supposed to be in class in 3 minutes... I don't feel like going. :(

Since I had my tranny replaced, this is the first real snow I have had to play with. I had to pick my son up from school around 1pm yesterday before the roads were plowed. Trying to get there so he would not have to wait too long, I was racing down the back industrial park roads at about 60mph. Hooowee! What fun it is getting sideways at that speed in a straight line! Even in an AWD you can only go so fast in snow and slush. :D Needless to say I had an absolute blast power sliding through all my turns. Even going into a turn with the car wanting to plow straight, a little gas and the front end tucked nicely into the turn and went where I pointed it.

My buddy at work here with a WRX has Pirelli's from the factory on his and he said he was having the worst time in the stuff yesterday. He couldn't stop or steer worth a darn. He is totally green with envy.
