    Yikes, that first guy looked like he was trying to hit people...I guess it was just on a hill or something.

    You do understand the difference between snow and ice, right?

    Fun times are to be had in the snow, believe me, I know. I had my first WRX when I still lived in PA, and got to drive around like a Rally Driver one winter, which was completely awesome. With that said, AWD does absolutely nothing for Ice. Be careful out there. Like I said last year, everybody thinks they are invincible because they have AWD.

    1) Most of us have Summer Tires, not meant for Snow, and definitely not meant for ice, or we have All Seasons, OK in snow, but not great, and again, not meant for ice.
    2) AWD does nothing to help with braking
    3) Unless you have studded tires, your car is only slightly better than any 2 wheel drive when the roads are icy

    No ice just inside ITP/85, so far. But the temp has been dropping since getting up this morning. They upped the "Winter Advisory" blah blah blah until 2pm. Joyful. STi is safely tucked into a parking spot at work. :D

    well...looks like this storm "should" bring some ice this time. BE CAREFUL WRX-ATL!..and tell your family/friends to slow it down, and watch that ice. i have to drive to Montgomery, AL tomorrow so I know I'll slow it down some.
