I think my attitude is worse this winter than it has been in the past, I'm really wishing I could just escape to Florida or Arizona or something for the winter. I guess MN is where most of my family is and where I've always lived and this area is real nice, so I'd have a real hard time leaving. On a side note, I miss my wheels on the ES, it just isn't the same back on stock wheels.

hmmm, our ES doesn't really do THAT great in snow. I actually think my C70 with High Performance Tires has done better so far this winter. Still not bad by any means though. Our RX on the other hand kicks azz in the snow

Hehe, being the only car in the family that is not rear-drive, the ES ownz everyone in the household when the road is not dry. Dad's car refuses to move, mom's not a fan of driving her car in snow either, and I simply know better than to try and take my old Porsche out to play. Dammit dad, what were you thinking when you sold the Audi Quattro? Now everyone at home has to call me up when they need a ride, and I gotta go there and pick them up. Was cool on the first day but then it got old. Thankfully the snow is almost all melted on the road, so the ES will go back to rest, but only after a good wash .

Realli? High Performance Tires? I would think taht they would have worse traction than the reg all season Mich the ES comes with. But anyways...whatever floats your boat.

Check your tires. I have a brand new set of all-season Firestone Firehawks and they are phenomenal. I was able to handle better through my neighborhood's mushy streets better then one of mah budz could (92 Pathfinder 4x4)

Heh, I got the Firehawks on mine as well, maybe that's why I'm getting such good traction. BTW, I hate these tires in dry weather.

We're getting temps in the 40's and no snow up here for at least a week up here so I'm back on the 18's until winter comes back.
