Yeah so far im hearing we got hit with about 24.9" inches of snow in the Boston area. I can say I'm not moving my car for a while at least its covered and placed in a covered enclosure.

Thanks I'm used to it being near the gear selector on the 3GS. Since you got to drive it in the snow how did the AWD feel was it planted or was there some slippage. Sorry for hijacking your thread.

It slips here and there, but over all can't really complain it holds the road... Mainly traction goes on while trying to take off, on turns was fine. So I just took traction off so I can punch it off the light, with out getting the power killed by traction control.
