SVX + Winter Sport M3's > Dean's Audi > Dean's WRX > *.SUV
That little Red Sled is a snow CHAMP! Toss the auto tranny into Manual mode 1st or 2nd gear, and it will romp through any weather! The only thing it can't do is keep other people from mucking out around me... I saw 7 vehicles off the road unintentionally between Applegate and Reno... *all* of them were SUVs.
One big SUV + SUV + truck wipeout on 80 East just after Boomtown... that added 30 minutes to the drive (that was 7h30m total, Bay to Reno! :shock
