Winter Driving
I took out the SC yesterday, not realizing that I had a lot of ice on my driveway.
Big mistake!
The whole neighborhood got a kick out of watching me try to make it back up the driveway. After 6 fruitless attempts, I had to hire 2 of the neighbor's kids to help me chop tire paths into the ice and even then barely made it back into the garage.

I took the SC out in snow about a week ago and I must say it handled better than I expected. It snowed about 5 inches while I was at Best Buy and I thought I would not be able to get home, but I turned on the "snow" mode and the SC never lost control. I was driving on mostly slush. Can't wait to test it out on ice

As a matter of fact, Larry, I visited it just this morning to make sure the BatteryTender was charging and no mice made it into the garage.
I have a small bag of enticing mouse poison in the garage - if it's broken open I know they got in, have left, and have met their demise (sorry PETA - it's me or them).

Damn, that looks like the unibombers home. Did you get on on foreclosure or something?
Must say though, I got stuck in the snow too. Snow mode is pretty useful. Although, I dont think I would ever recommend driving a $63k rear wheel drive car around in the snow

We've been having snow every day for the last 4 days. Not enough to create a problem but enough to make the roads slick.
I'm happy to report that I have not one single problem with traction................then again, I've been driving my Hyundai, not the Lex.
