Dude, you, Ernie and myself should do a mini-photoshoot of our G's in snow trim. Ernie, bring your camera!

I'm out in the quattro... fun commute from Woodinville to Seattle

Check out this poor CTS-V both passenger side wheels bent inward, front one was wobbling like it was gonna fall off. Must have hit a curb pretty hard sideways...

i live at richmond beach. It's a wicked hill down here. It's also the last place on earth where sand will be dispersed. I hope my little bmw 318 will make it up the hill

Doubt it. Well you're talking about 285/35/19 summer tires vs. some 225/50/16 all-seasons.

Debating whether I want to try and get out there today, even with the snows on. I want to drive over to my buddy's house in Seattle. Want to build a kicker on a hill by his house and hit that all day.

Even though you're joking, I'm 100% down for that. I just can't get anywhere in my car. I'm still racking my brain to see if there's a steep enough hill within walking distance of my house. If I can come up with something good, I'm gonna get in my snowboard gear, grab my board, backpack, shovel, etc... and hike it.

Current setup..

Potenza Re040's w/ about 25k on them.

My adventure:

Work: Tacoma
Home: Olympia

Drove out to work w/ no problem.. Found out no one was working, so went home. Freeways were fine.. got a mile to the house and spun out hit a sidewalk... got traction and hit another sidewalk... got to an intersection, and got stuck... help pushed me out of the street into a gas station... gas station entrances and exits are all uphill... icy uphill... tried to get out of gas station ice bowl... ended up turning vdc off and driving out in reverse... drove a mile home in reverse... i left for work at 8am.. got home at 4:15pm... this morning tried to turn on es330.. battery dead.... G parked outside of the driveway... driveway can fit about 4 cars... i shoveled the driveway yesterday, so the driveway has a fresh 6 inches of snow + ice... Yea.. G barely made it half way up the driveway... i had to put the car in drive and push it myself as far as it can go... i got it about half a car length from the garage... had to push the lexus out next to the G.. jump started it... got to work.... G is stuck in the driveway.... i have to dig it out tonight....

I'm an now looking at WRX wagon or AWD Element

Heck yeah lets do a photoshoot, we could even add an audi in the mix. Hell Alvin has an awd car. Lets do it. LOL btw I was out and about, did ok. Not going to try my luck on the hill I live on. Going up would probably be easy, but coming down it tomorrow morning will be a pain.
