14 inches of heavy, wet snow overnight.
No time to plow laneway so just drove through it.
First car down street.
Traction control flickered twice.
Stopped to push stuck AWD Equinox out of way.
Stopped to push stuck WRX out of way.
Plowed road so Equinox and WRX could get out of subdivision.
WRX driver took back all his bad thoughts about Twins abilities and bought me coffee.
Did not even come close to crashing.
Eat it "This car is no good in the snow" crowd!

Haha, that's the best! I came out to my car to find a pile of snow in front of it from the plow, said "meh, don't feel like shoveling it" and drove through.

Forgot to add:

Passed 8 cars in the ditch on the highway.
They did crash.
I did not.

took my dad's AWD Rogue out last night before roads were plowed, nannies flipped out and momentarily lost control on a slight curve going ~40kph.

took my FR-S this morning, my area hasn't been plowed yet, drove to work did not crash

My first snow in the BRZ last night, 6-7 inches of the wet heavy stuff, freshly unplowed down the off ramp and all they way to my place. Even started from standstill up a steep hill. Did not slip, did not crash

Ultramaroon · 12-12-2016, 02:44 PM

Drove to work. All snow melted.

Did not crash.

Drove up and out of my unplowed uphill driveway w/ about 6" of fresh heavy wet snow in it and through the wet heavy snow bank the county plows had left for me blocking my driveway's access to the road. Drove 20 miles to and from work on crappy roads w/ the nannies turned off. Despite my best efforts, still was not able to crash.

let my girlfriend drive my car...surprisingly she didn't crash

During November, drove from central Illinois to Golden, CO and back (about 2500 miles total), then proceeded to commute to Chicago for 10 round trips in 15 days, for another 3500 miles.

Drove >6000 miles in one month, did not crash.

The BRZ was great with Blizzak ws80. On par with all seasons on a fwd car.
