I actually tugged it back onto the road, twice, at speed where idiot 4x4 drivers and opposing traffic had careened to either side for whatever reason. I just lifted a tad, steered, and up it came... no sliding/fishtailing/nothing.

2 thumbs up for a great setup (and especially TCS)!

So you weren't having any issues with the TCS being so aggressive in the fresh snow with the P6's that you couldn't move at all? :huh: Maybe my TCS is just too twitchy then (but I'd rather it be overly aggressive than kick in after I'm toast :P )

Yeah the stock wiper blades are evil things, the hinges are so exposed that they get crammed solid with ice & packed snow almost immediately in the worst of it. I went Silblade and haven't looked back snice B)

Nope, I could walk it right through an unplowed intersection from a dead stop (4-5" ridges of packed and slushy snow), pull back onto the highway and get up to 60 KM/H in no time.

What sealed the deal is that I backed the car into the in-laws driveway, unplowed, up a 10+% grade.

"F'in mountain goat", indeed. I kept calling it that all weekend. Sara thinks it's funny, yet sees why it's true. :lol:
