Good Ol' Snow In Dallas/Fort Worth
Had some heavy snow yesterday which caused i-35 to shut down but my baby had fun! She handled the snow and ice without braking a sweat about every rwd or fwd car or truck I saw was stuck even a few 4x4's but I just rolled on by in regular drive, I even stopped on a 10% grade (had a stop light) and took off as normal maybe a slip or two and the cars computer took care of it nobody could make it up literally no one so many stuck people were shocked! I maybe helped and pulled out 80 people today and still the Rx never slipped or skidded the ect snow was terrific I have to say for a 13yr old car it did tons better than a lot of 2014's I will never own another vehicle besides a lexus I've included a few pictures of the snow! Enjoy 
gotta love it!

I was in Maryland last weekend when there was a snowstorm. People stuck, sliding, and spinning everywhere but my 1999 AWD was fine.
I always hit the ECT SNOW button, no idea if it helps or not, but it makes me feel like I did something.

wow anthony!; those pics of the snow and ice over there in Texas are crazy!; and I always thought it was impossible for texas to get snow and ice being that far south. But i guess when mother nature wants to do something; she will do it alright lol. As for snow....u aint seen nothing till you have lived where I am originally from which is Michigan(so glad i live down here now thank goodness!). And cold? u got nothing on cold till u have experienced what my friends back in MI have dealt with lately with air temps of -5 to -10 with wind-chills down to -20 to -40.

but we got alot for being texas we are really not used to this type of weather about 99% of people don't have snow tires/experience in the snow so there were wreaks everywhere the main corporate was slamming on the brakes and locking up and boom, as for me abs never had to kick in nor traction control, I've got to admit I've put it in 1st and spun all 4 down a big empty street and when to a big parking lot and did a couple of donuts got that beep and the flashing traction light but it still did it, a few people were there and they were amazed and taking pics cause they never seen a 4 wheel peel hahaha! So I might end up on youtube!
