Yeah, as good as the VX is on the snow and ice, you do have to be cautious. I am used to driving in lots of snow, being from Chicago, but Reno is a whole different story. They really don't plow or salt here, and the steep up and down grades make sliding when stopping very easy when going down hill. I was coasting out of my development after the first good snow we got, and I was only going about 20mph, and the hill wasn't even that steep, and I still slid into the intersection as I braked for the stop sign! Luckily, no one was on the road, but you get the idea. Even with new BFG A/Ts, you have to be careful.
But don't get me wrong, get that VX into an empty lot, and its donut time!
