I just took her a out for a 5 mile adventure! She handles great, almost Tank like. I could not make her slide even if I tried. I suspect we will have several more inches tonight so we will see tomorrow.

I've run those Blizzaks in the past. They really are superb in the snow.

Looks Great.

I have an RJT, with Pirelli Scorpion snow and Ice.
We don't have snow yet where I live here in Vermont.
I can't wait to get it out for a drive in the snow....

I'm good with people who want to put them away, want them to last longer, stay pristine...

I however, want to be able to drive mine 360 days of the year (the other 5 days will be the REALLY bad snow storms days)

I understand both schools of thought, however Ruby will be replaced with Ruby Tuesday the convertible next year and she will no doubt be replaced 2 years later by a car yet to be named!

I take good care of my cars but I want to enjoy them and that includes giving them good runs in the snow!

And lets not forget that the car can be programed to turn on the heated seats, and rear defroster, when it is remote started...

First big snow of the year.

We got about a foot of snow yesterday and overnight.
Here are a couple of pics from this morning, after parking around 9PM:





I thought to my self "4 wheel drive... we don't need no stinkin 4 wheel drive!!"
Drove well in the snow as long as I took it easy on the starts.
