I drove the Z home last night around 7pm. It was pretty crazy I tell you!!

Thank goodness for VDC. You have to turn it off once in a while to get some momentum though.

My tires held up very well in the snow (did not get stuck once).

With the Z, you just have to be careful and not get too pedal happy.

honda accord sedan + traction control = FTMFW!!!

i always chuckle when i see high-end RWD sedans (benz, bmw's) struggling to go up even a minor incline while my trusty accord coasts up with no probs

Perhaps they should get some good snow tires?

maybe they thought after spending 50-100k their shiny new bimmer or benzo would make up the difference

i took this a couple a weeks ago after the previous big snow storm hit ..



that would be a z4 STRUGGLING to make it up that apartment entrance. everyone in both directions including cross traffic had to stop and wait for him to make it up, but dude wasn't even moving an inch. RWD WHEEL SPIN FTL.

Went to timmies with some friends last night. couldn't get out of the parking lot... not because we were stuck, but because other people were stuck and blocking the ONLY exit in the parking lot... we had to get out and push them out, like literally 5 cars :@.

I'm on all seasons, no problems yet (not a Z though )

i was driving my F-150 yesterday afternoon when i see a Z stuck and struggling in the middle of the intersection (young/steeles). You know i had to help her out (MILF) (luckaly i had a strap rope in my car). By 7PM i took out my snowmobile and went rippin it around on young. If any one of you seen a guy doing about a 100-120km/h yesterday on young, chanses are it was me. LOL

the base cayenne doesn't even have a porsche engine in it... plus it was felt too slow off the line

anyway just saying that after the weather warmed up and the original layer of snow started to melt, the roads basically iced over

add about 5 inches of fresh snow on top of that and it spelled disaster... at least in Markham
