Yeah, it was coming down pretty good and we are expecting 6-8 inches tonight.
I was taking it real slow with the wife in our van watching my six on the way home. It handled it better than I thought on the gas though the braking was as treacherous as I expected.
Snug and tight for at least a couple of days before I take it out again. Maybe I'll watch a DVD in the garage tomorrow night!

Mr. Johnson, congrats on the IS F!![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Your situation (weather) and setup (GS400 and IS F) is nearly identical as mine. My Black GS is sitting in the garage hibernating with a car cover over it and my IS F in a few days will be joining him as well - I'll have to find a car cover - anyone know one that will fit...IS350 perhaps?
Our roads are cleared at the moment, but we may get a few inches. The dealership did offer to hold it for me since I'm a little paranoid driving it on snow and ice at the moment with performance tires.

BTW - I just read your roll call post and I couldn't help to wonder why/what you meant by removing the wheel locks??
(didn't want to post in that thread)

I hate wheel locks. The places this car will go I shouldn't have to worry about wheels being stolen so regular old lugs for me.

I bet those Brembos were bitting hard in the snow..

Front 14.2-in. drilled rotors with six-piston opposed aluminum calipers, high-friction brake pads
Rear 13.6-in. drilled rotors with two-piston opposed aluminum calipers, high-friction brake pads
ABS can only do so much in this type of weather with out a winter tire set up..

Just meant that it braked about like you would expect summer tires in snow. Yeah I asked for some backup.
I kept watching it get worse and worse. Luckily the dealership is only about 2-3 miles from the house so I just took it easy getting home.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
