A little fun in the snow..

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/4845/snowqj.jpg

Traction control doesn't work at all when your stuck on a hill, learned that today...

Also learned that summer tires don't give you much (if any) traction...

But, what this picture tells me the most is... i really need some spacers!

Pretty useless thread.

Dude... when the white stuff flys I don't bother... the G stays in the garage and the big old Dodge 4X4 comes out.
Matter of fact the G pretty much hybrinates all winter.....

Looks nice man! what kinda lights do you have in place of the city lights. Don't see any skids or whipeouts in the tire trail behind you so your doing damn well for those 19s. Rains hard enough and those tires are useless haha. Have fun...be safe!

I can't remember what they were, i have the box for them somewhere i will try to find it.. They actually match up pretty well with my HPA 6k headlights so i was happy..

Yea no skidding at that point although there were a few close calls. . Getting off the highway i was all over the place, ended up almost completely turned around but luckily got to where i needed to be and now parked the G until the roads are clear!

Yah, the G is pretty much like **** on a bull for winter driving... unless you have the X I guess..

Took my X out in the last snowstorm we had here (2 feet) and it was unstoppable with the traction control off. I had way too much fun!! It seemed better than my Acura with snow tires on it, though I doubt the G stopped as well. In turns, if you overshoot it or are going in a little hot, just crank the wheel, give it some gas, and it pulls you right through. Way too much fun!
