It is snowing right now and I'm going to wait for it to stick and try out the VDIM some more. It is addictive. It reacts early and smoothly to abrupt inputs whether throttle or steering. I think is an equivalent safety advance as ABS which freed us from pumping our brakes manually. You don't get that out of control feeling in slick conditions that we did on the Gen. 2 GS430. This is all while comparing a 17" wheel on the Gen.2 with an 18" std. run flat on the Gen. 3. Put some studs on it and it would be fun to drive on a frozen lake....
Very good to hear!
