I had fun drifting in the snow......but when everything turned to solid ice, my car stayed in the garage. =)

I had to drive my car on the ICE. Thanx to my chains, I was able to commute to work and back, while everyone else was in the ditch. Such sweet sadness to see idiots driving without chains lol

Hi, Rob Wood from Boise, Id and just thought you would get a kick out of a pic that I took around 10am this morning. I made the mistake of leaving my babie out side last night, thinking I would have to go to the store latter, latter came and I forgot to put it in my heated garage.

I'm rolling on Hankook snow tires I figured after this winter, I'll just get some tires for my 19s and keep the snow tires on stock wheels for winter driving.

I had a good time with my 2G GS in the snow... it did horribly and when the snow turned to ice it was game over. I wasn't going anywhere

I can't wait for more!

Car is looking clean

I had Hankook snow tires. Yup, they work great, but didnt take them off when it was time. Damn rain kept me from putting my iForged wheels on. So the tread life went down fast. It doesnt stay below 40* degrees in WA long enough, where the snow tires work the best. So this yr, I got conti DWS. Does ok, but not as good as snow tires. Glad I have chains
