Enjoyed my SVX in the snow
We got around 15" of snow, and I couldn't resist taking it out and having fun with it!
I managed to get my SVX almost stuck, and then stuck once. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8gtCgZdi9E This is the video of the car getting "un-stuck". I had to kick some snow out from under it though first. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKhS3NqJy9M And this is a video of it having fun busting through the snow! Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxnaJKu68DE We also took some scenic snow pictures:

What tires do you have on it? I race in snow deeper than that without worries.

I have yokohama all weather tires on it. They definately are not ment for that much snow. When there is 1-3" its fine (which is about what this part of Ohio usually gets), but with this much snow, I should have put snow tires on it.

Ah, gotcha. I looked like you were having more trouble than I'm used to. I actually went out looking for the deepest unplowed streets I could find and then blasting through them. I've never managed to get the SVX stuck, so I wanted to see what it would take.
I didn't find anything deep enough.

Quite possibly the best snow svx video i've ever seen. We need more action videos. Thanks.
