No and no! If I could have no snow I'd be a happy camper.

Where is that stuff coming down? You don't give your location in your member info.

My bad haha. Im in central Pa in the middle of the mountains. I think we're supposed to get 6 inches or so here by tomorrow morning.

Middle of the "middling hills", you meant to say. Altitude is king. High Plains Drifters get horizontally blowing white stuff. Here in the Valley we get it regularly (typically; we do have almost snowless winters too).

Six inches! Well, enjoy!? Let us know right away what your A/S driving experience is like (I assume that you are on A/S?). I can hardly wait.

Can’t wait to try the AWD in the snow. Atlanta is the best city for snow.

Nobody on the roads = freedom to play (legally)

I live in a small redneck town so everyone and their brother will be out later if the roads get bad in their side by sides and lifted jeeps raising hell haha

I am here in Northern VA and the crap is coming down. It is sticking to everything so my drive home in a few hours is going to be interesting. Will be my first outing in my AWD GT2 in the snow. Good thing I got my winter tires a few weeks ago.

We're only supposed to get 1-3" here in W. Mich. Most of it sliding to our south and east - heading for you. I'm ALMOST jealous, but I'll still have 4 more months to make snow angels in the GT2 AWD!

You have the best setup! Winter tires with AWD! Let us know how it goes.

It is not me or my Stinger that I am worried about, it is as everyone says, the other drivers!

 

[Waynerm002]

mine is in the shop so no play for me today.

 

[RickySpanish]

i was supposed to get my Vibrant resonators welded into my SSR muffler deletes today but the snow screwed that up for me.

 

[XZe]

Must be nice. We don't get snow out here at all lol

 

[1RADKIA]

I’ve seen a share of Stinger fun in the snow videos on YouTube and WOW it looks like it could be a blast!!!! ....maybe someday. db

About 2 weeks ago we got a couple of inches of snow over top of freezing rain. Made the roads pretty treacherous but my Stinger handled it with ease due to the Nokian Hakkapelitta R3s that I'm running for winter. Then, just for fun, I took the car to an empty parking lot and did some slow speed AWD donuts. It was a blast seeing the front tires throwing up the snow.

you guys can have all that crap you want. I never want to deal with it again. 53 years of it was more than enough . Yikes 67 degrees here today Brrrrrrr.

Point taken. Then again, I've never had to flee the path of a hurricane blowing in off Lake Michigan!

Well I got home ok, no thanks to other drivers out there doing 60+ in slush and ice covered roads. I do not care if you do drive a 4X4 SUV, crossing lanes, passing cars and throwing slush all over everyone is just stupid and reckless. /rantoff

My AWD did a great job with my new winter tires. 52 miles home took just over 2 hours. Yup, it sucked. She is now safely parked in the garage where she belongs. I aint doing this again tomorrow.

Wierd thing is, I always turn my Auto stop and go off as soon as I start the car, and today was no different. At every red light with my foot on the break, the light came on in the dashboard like it had turned the engine off, but the engine was clearly still running. Was really strange. Going to have to ask about it at my next service.

 

[Waynerm002]

Was the light green or yellow? Green, it is working correctly and the engine shuts down, yellow, it is working but something (maybe low battery charge) is preventing it from shutting the engine off. Were you using the heated steering wheel and seats? I've read they draw a lot of power so will put a load on the battery.
