Default ICY xBOX in the SNOW / Photos

ABS prevents skidding, no kidding. Traction Stability prevents sliding. The xBox is secure in the snow. If you want to have that kind of fun in the snow, the xBox may not be the most fun vehicle. I went skiing 3 times to Killington in Vermont and saw countless SUV's in the ditches. Here are some photos from Vermont:


The H is for HAWK! I am looking for a personal ikon or badge for that spot in the grill. People ask Honda? Hybrid?






I am having a hard time sizing these photos, I am a croping novice.

How come you have your front license plate offset?

A front plate is required in Virginia. But I love the look of the front without a plate. This spot is the farthest place I could put it to keep the face clean. I want it off, but offset was the best I could do.
No snow in Cali? Killington is still open for skiing and riding, go to Killington.com I miss the cold and snow.

Yes, some people say 'Get the H out of there' and I will. I want to fab a ceramic tile, 1 1/2 inches by 1 7/8 inches with the letter H, another with the letter B and one more with an X. I may even get one with an XB to fill the gap there. I want it secured with a plastic tie for easy and cheap replacement. Any suggestions? This mod/fab is taking the longest.

Default snow tires for xB?

Hey-

Can anyone give me any suggestions as to what snow tires work well with the xB? I live in NY and I am a bit worried about winter driving in the xB.

THanks.

Your not missing much. Having moved to Florida 2 years ago from North Dakota for over 15..... I can say your not missing much..

Thanks for reminding me to talk my mom into buying an xB instead of a Matrix.
