Manual + vert...sounds awesome. s2k? Miata? Mustang? Camaro? 335? Boxster? 911?
Haha We'll see about charlotte and not sure about the car yet

Haha yeahh it was pretty bad

Worst part is, just went outside and everything icing up now I guess I'll be taking the suv to school tomorrow

Definately not the MOST useless in the snow. I once got stuck in a freak snowstorm in my 457whp Camaro with MT ET street tires. It was not fun. I would let out the clutch easy and it would just go sideways. I was forced to make turns when I wanted to go straight because it wanted to go that way. Then while going straight down a flat straight road at 20mph it just started spinning in 360s out of nowhere. Good times!!

I feel like it does great in the snow. ABS and VSA kicks in great. Then again I'm not slammed and have all-seasons.

cmon dude! I'm as low/lower than you and I live in the same area. I haven't lost control yet and I've been driving daily. You must be driving too fast .

I did do a nice slide through the intersection on genito. That was on purpose though .

Well knowing Faiz, he was probably in the snow with his flip-flops...lol...j/k man.

Dude I am with everyone else, I love those headlights, never really noticed you had that awesome setup.

Oh and when give up the TL, I have dibs on the custom magnaflow exhaust!!! You know I tried to get it about 3 times by now..lol

Once all this crappy weather goes by we are going to do a photoshoot with Parth's A4. No excuses...lol
