We had 10 inches of snow today and the tc failed with snow tires. I took some pictures with the fx and it failed too.

Haha I know what you mean, used to live in AZ for about 3-4 years. I loved it there, too bad for the move.

It hasn't even noticeably snowed here in Williamsburg, Va..some winter we had haha.

i went for a midnight drive last night i was doing fine, pulled into a gas station to clean my wipers off trying to pull out and almost got stuck and went onto the highway it was alright until i came up on some pack of semi's i didn't even bother to pass 'em cause the left lane was full of snow compared to the right lane and when i was coming off of 465 and turning right onto 56th st almost got stuck again let me just say i had my fill until next week when i have to goto the bank... winter retirement ftw!!!

I lived in massachusetts all my life, I moved to AZ two years ago and my first winter in az I couldn't believe how cold 40 was here.

I need LAYERS when it's 40. Feels like 20s to me.

Those pics are awesome though, looks fun. I miss the cold & snow. Bundling up and freefalling out of my bedroom window into 2 feet of snow. :D

I think the tc handles great in the snow with snow tires. It is very predictable. The only bad part is when you are lowered and trying to drive through 10 inches of snow. It doesnt work. Im running the Blizzak LM-25's.

^^ true free would be good. i did the 'do it yourself' one and only cost me 3 to wash it, spray, clear coat protectant and spot free (would've done the 'polishing foam' but the line was frozen lol )
