The Beauty of AWD
Lots of snow hitting our area tonight. So far only 6 inches. I had to drive 20 miles back home and everyone was slipping and sliding all over the place.
I was navigating North into the storm. Drivers all kept checking me out wondering what I was doing in the snow. Other FWD drivers drove alongside me trying to pass me, I guess assuming since a "sports car" can go this fast in the snow maybe I can go faster... They slid sideways all over the place. I safely cruised at 25-40 mph depending on the road conditions I stopped in the parking lot to do some test runs to make sure the rear wheels were working. They were.... ![]() Took this shot in the parking lot ![]() Hope everyone else is having a great snowday! ![]() P.S. my weird shifting disappeared ![]()

the SVX does get a lot of stares in the snow - a low, sleek sportscar-looking thing driving along smoothly while SUV's are sliding all over the place.
![]() ![]() i remember going home from work one night in teh SVX during a snowstorm and there was a big hill that people were attempting, and sliding back down. i cruised right up it. ![]()

Snow? Beauty?
I smell salt and a lot of rust. When it snows, I drive my 4WD pickup and garage the SVXs.
