Holy crap

Wednesday1/19/05, Raleigh NC got hit by a "freak" snowstorm. In the matter of 2 hours, the whole city was under about 2" of solid ice. The roads were horrible, highways shutdown, schoolbusses couldn't get kids home, so they spent the night in schools. Commutes that normally took 30 minutes, took 10 hours. Check out some of the coverage.

The VX served as the paddy wagon for coworkers that were to nervous to drive home (all women, I might add). While others were burning tread and spinning out, the TOD + LSD + Winter Mode + upkept and properly rotated tires kept me from spinning a tire once. I was in as much control as I could have been on SOLID ICE. NOTE this is MUCH different than driving on snow. I couldn't have been more happy with the performance of the vehicle. After having driven a trooper (albeit with 33x12.50 "widefoot" tires) and a damn M-class mercedes in similar conditions, I was more than happy with the VX in the wintery conditions, as were all my passengers who were like "I've never seen this car on the road before, is it safe?"


Maybe you've been trying to burn up to many civics at the stoplights.

Oh and MrTew has got it nailed. Bravo.
