Firstly, 8 inches of snow is too much for nearly any car. I dont care what you say about your 325is or 240sx, my Audi a6 would have had a hard time in 8 inches of snow with winter tires. And that thing was a tank... literally.

Secondly, you cant complain about the nannies not working when it's so easy to turn them off. TRAC and VSC are primarily designed for icy conditions, not mounds of snow. It's normal that you may have to turn them off from time to time.

Maybe you need to re evaluate what the reasonable limit of a car should be. Because if you think tracking through 8 inches of snow is reasonable, then you need a jeep not a car.
