My Q45 kicks ass in the snow!

Well, for the first time today, I drove my Q45 around on snow packed roads and I'd have to say I was nothing short of pleasantly surprised. Despite the fact that it's rear wheel drive, it'd blow the doors off my SVX in the snow any day of the week. The traction control does a surprisingly good job of preventing wheel spin. Also, it doesn't slide all over the friggin road like the SVX. I certainly have more confidence in the Q and find myself going faster. For 1800 bucks, what a fantastic buy. Just had to gloat.

I fail to see how any RWD car could out maneuver an AWD car. That's like saying that my corvette with positraction would outdo my Legacy - I think not.

Yeah, I must be imagining things.

Plus, I figured I'd just lie about the price to impress everybody here.

And what the hell is "Shens"? Is that Yiddish or something?

Obviously a very old contraption. A winter mod for a summer machine, and it looks as if it would work. All technically correct, with front caster and all. Was it on sale at any time?
More info please.
