Default Right before my eyes i saw a GS hit a car

Oh man right when i was heading home, there was a 01-05 GS. i traveled along with him unti i hit damen. here is snowing by the way. so the light changed and i just barely managed to stop, but he slipped to the intersection where there was a car trying to turn. (i couldnt tell if the guyin the intrepid was turning, had already try to turn to avoid the collesion, but the gs was steering the other direction to aviod it.) so he slid and trying to aviod he hit the turn that was turning and then i guess he hit the gas and the rear end swang around and hit the guy in the intrepid. it didnt look that bad, looked minor damages, but the weather is terrible down here. it hurts seeing another GS gets hit in front of me.

in hindsight, i'd bet he wished he put sandbags in his trunk coupled with some blizzaks.

Good snow tires make all the difference, also when driving using the "snow" setting is the way to go, sux to hear another GS went down...

Snowing in NYC right now. The kinda stuff AWD vehicles are made for

What does sand bags in the trunk accomplish? The rear end of the GS is not exactly a paper weight.
