Default Snow Tracker

We got between 4-8 inches of blowing and drifting snow today.
Pick my wife up from work with our new RX 350, and all I can say is WOW.

Amazed how smooth that all-wheel drive handles in snow.
I even tried hard to make the wheels spin, but couldn't

Even took the long way home so I could "play" a little............LOL

Cheers!

I wanna play

GRPFAN, glad you had some fun in the white stuff. The RX is solid but the right shoes are important. It's probably why David is asking about the tires you have. Sounds like yours are good to go.

BTW snow roosters are pretty cool

Don't you some days just feel sorry for the people that don't own a RX 350

You mean the ones I have to drive around because they're stuck in the snow? Nope

Default waiting for winter

I've been waiting since November to see how my RX handles in the really deep snow that we usually suffer. There have been no big storms ever since I got the car last April. I put snow tires and new wheels on in November and we haven't had more than an inch or two of snow since. I should have bought rain tires I guess. This darn global warming is wrecking my winter driving fun.

Bleeding green is not a good thing - almost as bad as bleeding Bears blue. At least you had the pleasure of suffering a bit. We were DOA.

I am a NY Giants fan, sorry GRPFAN. As for the snow, we got a couple of inches in NJ today. I didn't want to get salt on the RX so it stayed in the garage. In addition, the snow piles I wanted to play on required a higher ground clearance!
