I use to love hearing... What your staying home ??? You have 4wd.
Yep and I'll still have it once the snow is gone.
Just because I have 4wd why should I risk it...
I give you guys credit driving your cars in this crap, be safe.

Less than 2 inches on the ground here - roads are just wet. My development was even plowed before 9am, so no issue getting the car out and to work, though there would have been some issues if I didn't have snow tires.

I'm about 30 miles NW of Philadelphia and there was 2-3 inches on the ground at 7 AM. My neighborhood was not plowed at all but the Z (M/T with Blizzaks and TCS) did just fine. I even turn off the TCS and the car was still controllable. Roads on the way to work were OK, but I think I am leaving a little after lunch before it starts to ice or whatever they are calling for.

For those who say this car can't be controlled in the snow, I went for a little test drive before committing to going to work and there is this one road where you have a stop sign, then immediately after you climb a hill with maybe 20%-25% grade. It had about 1/2" of residual snow on the road and I was accelerating up the hill in 2nd gear with no slipping or fishtailing (TCS was on). I'm very impressed with how these tires handle the snow. But they get friggen loud when they are chewing up the powder!

Snow is only good for one thing.



Looking at the white trees.... so beatiful. She needs to get out the way.

BLIZZAKS people. You wont have a problem driving the Z in snow. Ive driven through blizzards with those tires!

Yes I went to work yesterday but I took the fx even though I have snow tires.
