Heated Highway!

I really just want a heated highway so I can drive my car in the winter, I really just want to drive my car but cause the snow in Boston is about to be 18" i'm buried and the garage is blocked by snow! oh well another ride to work yeah isn't that fun! sorry had to vent on the fact that I have a RWD car and there is no movement that will occur!

The more it snows the more I want to go for a drive. Really though, why not just get some winter tires right?

Can't wait to see the tolls on a heated highway. It would shut down the power plant.

I had an awesome drive to work this morning! Cool crisp morning in the mid 30s... coldest temperature all year... I hit 110 mph at my normal "floor it" spot to get around lots of cars... (don't worry it's very safe and I don't drive like a a$$hole...)

Yeah I'm sure the tolls would be out of control but only in winter just run hot water under the roads in tubes and its all good we would be paying a lot of money but we would save on snow plows........Who's with me

I don't like the AWD I like RWD, called me old fashion but I think a RWD car drives better aside from winter. I have a winter beater my 2-door camry but who wouldn't miss driving your GS.

Not sure how you can make that judgement without knowing the stretch of road and driving conditions... or do you think that 110 mph in our 3GS is unsafe in any condition?

You know what else also create a lot of jobs? CRASH. One accident create loads of jobs, you get police/fire dept/ambulance/hospital/insurances/lawyers/etc.... We need more accidents.

Sorry for my sarcasm but I need to rant too.

All the electric cars doing 50mph all over on 65mph road and run out of juice in the middle of the road will be hel.

I'm out with the IS350 every snow storm, even when I really don't need to be out..

As long as you drive cautiously, you should be fine.
