^ I may need a ride to the office if this doesnt stop till 6 am....I am not that confident in the GS in that amt of snow even with the snow tires but knowing this state the roads will be fine in the am. I am going to go plow the snow off the other half of the drive way with the GS (LOL)...

Old pic, but still applies

Got your text Mike! I was busy plowing the driveway with my GFX lip. Good thing I have a spare in the garage. The car handled okay in the snow. It was a lot easier to drive with traction control off. I could power through a lot of the stuff. Rather than have traction control kick in EVERY second I accelerated.

yea Vik I did the same thing in the IS and with the GS also. This seems to be the best as it wont allow you enough momentum to get moving if you have it on.
