TSX Snow Performance
I think my TSX would perform fine in the Boston snow... as soon as I figure out a way to get into it that is...

Took my TSX out today for the first time since the big snow (I am in Bethlehem, PA) and it handled really well. My entire campus is on a huge hill, and the majority of the roads hadn't been plowed, but the VSA kicked in and cruised right through the snow. I was impressed.
EDIT: Awesome photo, BTW

Runs great in the snow if you drive right
Michigan here.... snow and cold. This car runs great if you drive right. Slow down and take it easy on a slippery road.

I'm in Hartford and we got it pretty good. Took the car out Saturday night to get pizza......tempting fate or course.....and the road had yet to be plowed and there wasn't much traffic.
I have Bridgstone Blizzaks on and did everything I could to loose control and didnt' spin out once....stupid yes....fun even more-so yes, but there wasn't any traffic so safe all the same.
Walked in the house and told the wife that my car handled better than her WRX in the snow.....she didn't believe me. I did watch a Ford Explorer wipe out though....put a smile on my face

What he's doing makes a lot of sense, but you can't do it in a neighborhood with random vandalism, as those wipers can be way too attractive to some juvenile delinquent type.

I have respect for everybody that has to deal with that kind of weather. Here in New Orleans, LA , we get snow about once every 10 years. Believe it or not, it snowed Christmas day here. You should have seen how everybody freaks out. Its like everybody is a kid again. I wish I could have broken away with the TSX in the snow for a few miles of play time...but I think the red wine in my body would have made for a bad decision. My black TSX did look pretty cool with a few inches of snowy accent. BTW, we think it is freakin cold here now and it is in the 40's.
