Looks like they plow your roads about as good as they do ours when it snows. Are those snow tires? How'd it do? Any pucker moments?

how many, "Damn I wish I got a WRX/STi instead" moments?

It's a very fine and powdery snow, very slippery. Radio reporting multiple accidents everywhere. 205/55R-16 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 XL on cheap wheels but no problems at all. Had some wheel spin getting up a steep slick hill, but overall it was very controllable and predictable. Only 1/2 tank of gas also.

Car looks good and with the winter tires, should indeed be a fun ride! I cant stay away from the empty lots when it snows around here.

I did get here early enough to do a couple of donuts in the parking lot before I parked it in my usual (as far away as possible) spot.

Nice! Your weather has made Jalopnik!

I drove 35 miles last night... but in slow, drifty circles.

In Pittsburgh this AM we have about an inch of snow/slush/19F. New Goodyear Eagle Sport AS performed admirably.

They must hand-out Quaaludes to Pittsburgh drivers when it snows or rains. The slowdown is mind blowing. Plus, the plowing/salting service here is extremely shitty.
