It took me over 6 hours to get home from Kennesaw to Dallas. I will say though, I'm very impressed with out the 86 performed on stock summer tires in the snow. I slid a couple times but never got stuck. I passed a lot of stuck trucks though. My biggest problem was getting into the driveway. I couldn't get traction to get over the hump, so I had to backup and get some momentum to come in at and angle. You can see in the picture how far I made it. My wife's VW was wonderful in the snow and ice. She didn't have any problems getting home. |

My lx450 (landcruiser) was slowed down a bit by the snow. Brothers and I pulled my brz out early Wednesday.
It's about time for a meet up soon. Caffeine and octane is Sunday... Anyone gonna make it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had no real issues getting home on Wednesday. The only time I slid at all was going down the on-ramp to I-20 on Hwy 61. It was a wide space, no other traffic and a pure sheet of ice and snow. I got to practice my 5MPH drifting all the way down, through a series of S turns. Was actually fun since I knew I'd catch the snow and be able to straighten up. All that said, I will NOT be doing that again. Olivia stays home from now on when there is snow in the forecast.

It's a good thing I had @fatherfork to help me get the brz off the side of the road I dont know if I would have been able to sleep with cars sliding beside it all day and night!

Windshield cracked from a tiny piece of gravel getting kicked up at high speed. This crap they put all over the road for the snow sucks! Makes me not want to drive my new FRS at all.
