Talking LOVING the AWD!!!

Wow, deciding to go with the AWD version of the IS250 over the manual transmission may have been the best decision I ever made! This weather is brutal, but driving around I feel like its any other day of the week!

God I LOVE this car!!!

haha, yea, my dad has an '04 SC430 and he said trying to get to and from work today was "interesting"! hope you didn't have too far to go.

i also hope everyone else takes it nice and easy on their way home work this evening. the roads are going to be crowded and icy and will probably only get worse as it gets darker and colder, so BE CAREFUL!!!

AWD keeps me out of trouble, it was funny seeing BMWs trying to get out of a parking lot that is a little too steep.

for AWD!

Been trying to stay off the side streets as much as possible. Wednesday, I got a ride from my friend who has a Suby Baja. Thursday and Friday, drove my SC to work and back. Slow and steady, used the highways as much as possible, and my Contiextremes have been doing a friggin awesome job. Little to no sliding. Used to be treacherous with the old dunlops.
