It's already invented, all of the garage ramps into my condo are heated in the winter when the temperature drops below freezing to keep them deiced.

I used to live in Boston and I never had to drive because I lived in the city and just took the train or a bus but I DO NOT miss that damn snow. I grew up in cali so moving to bean town was a culture shock and a temperature shock as well. I still remember how my hands would get so cold waiting for the bus they would feel like my fingers had been slammed in a car door (with gloves on in -15 deg temps). MAn I will take the 110-115 deg summers all day long.

I discover the other day our GS don't make good spinout. I tried it in an empty huge parking spot far away from every possible thing. I couldn't get the car up to speed to do any spin in the snow... well the rear wheels spin a lot but that's about it. LOL

What he was trying to say is that 110mph is unsafe on ANY public road way. Take it to the track.

You have to do the pedal dance and turn the VSC off to do good donuts lol, I too miss my GS she is in a storage unit all alone until we get some nice rain to wash the salt away.
