Blackout G37X Beast Mode - 6" of Snow No Prob - PICS

Decided to put the G37X to good use today. Went to the store for some essentials. I'm lowered and I got out of six inches of snow easy. Love my AWD. Snapped some quick iphone pics because the black n white contrast looked good! Enjoy.

Talking

I kind of cry when I see pictures like this. My G is resting quite snug in storage for the winter right now and I'm missing it so much. At least you are putting the awd to work and it looks like fun!

It's odd how some people complain about their X's not working in the snow, but the majority of us like it. Mine does quite well in the snow too...even going up and down mountain roads covered in snow and ice.

On another note...I drove my Z from Boise, Id to Portland, Or on snow covered I-84 and had no problems with it either...you would think it would be more difficult than a G; especially an X.

I'm guessing it's mostly about how a person drives.

Good to see another person putting their G to use...

I was running my G sport yesterday with 4 inches of snow. The VDC was kickin' in keeping my tail end from kickin' out almost constantly but it kept me driving straight. I love my G.

Looks like a good time but I also cringe at the thought having to drive my G in the snow. I keep it away during the winter months.

I'm being careful but it's still a blast. No special tires, just running my stocks. It's perfectly fine. When we had that huge snow storm in October, I was out rescuing people. Eventually I will get a cheap winter car but for now it's my DD so I've gotta make due. Love it though.

You are right, the black/white contrast does look good.

Yea man! I'm in Southbury. Not too far away. 30-40 minutes. We should arrange a meet up soon, or in the Spring. I want to find more CT G's. I think I've seen less than five on the forums here.

Really? I'm surprised to hear people complaining about their Xs. I love mine. In comparison to my previous car, this thing is a dream in the snow. We've had a fairly mild winter here so far, but I've been looking forward to a good snow storm to take this thing out. I'd like to find out it's limitations while I'm having fun with it, so it won't leave me stranded in the future when I need it.

WEEEERD. Good use to take your G out in the snow and salt to get to the grocery store??

I understand an X daily, and to be honest your car is setup perfect for what you use it for, mild drop, all blacked out so not having to worry about cleanliness all that much.

Yeah, there are several posts around here from people complaining about how it "fishtails" or the rear gets out from them.
I think it's from people who think because it's AWD, they can still drive on snow just like it is dry and warm.
Even though a vehicle is AWD, a person still needs to drive like they are on snow.
My X worked great in the snow...
