Today



Trying to prevent what the neighbor did Wednesday morning

holy cold bits

They need a car port before they rust out. Awd didn't save that rs subaru

So is that what black ice does dd? Being from Perth (where it's currently 4pm and still 36 degrees celsius!) I've never seen it, let alone experience it!

Closest I've come to a surface like that I guess is our ball bearing-esque gravel country roads and tracks...

We had two "once in 20 years" snowstorms last winter. I got stranded in another city when they closed the rd. They closed the kilmog hill less than 5 mins after we passed the sign where it get closed from. Took us a hour to travel a 15 minute drive. Idling in 1st gear with no brakes the whole way. There was quite a good fender bender right at the top too. The mrs was amazed that I got us through it. (She shouldn't be, I'm always telling her how awesome I am. lol)

that is just bad driving. AWD would fix that. Must not be an RS or GX.

It was raining here the other day, and a Suburu WRX takes the corner in front of me..off camber right turn at traffic lights. and goes 4 wheel drift for a foot, then puts his foot down. It corrects itself and leaps off down the road in the driving rain. I was very impressed at the full throttle traction. Seriously wouldn't mind one after seeing that.

ps. nice photo of the 1200s! I was talking to a Guy in Seattle today who works for ATT, he's been snowed in for 4 days.

I'm guessing by bonnet scoop it was a turbo. Rs should have water to air intercoolers though from memory.

Stuff I've seen and done in my gt when I had it, in the rain and snow and gravel... Good and secure in wet, just a pita to fix and $$$$

lol... AWD only has more traction when you are accelerating.... and ABS probably stuffed him/her over when they paniced and hit the brakes too

1200rc has got it right. I suppose when all 4 are locked up and you start sliding down the street, only acceleration will help. All I can say for the guy is ...doh!

this is why not many AWD's finish wet/slippery rallys (or dont finish much quicker)..

they accelerate a hell of a lot better but they can't brake any better than anyone else
