We were out on and off all morning here in bethany and the Pilot did great with just the OEM all seasons on it, didn't even have to throw it into "4WD" or VTM 4-Lock as honda calls it. Only spot of a slide was me having fun Planning on taking it out tomorow to try it in some slightly icey conditions if they exist. TSX sits warm and cozy in the garage.

i made two round trip to tigard from beaverton today and had no problem with cr-v. road was slushy in the morning but all of sudden turned into ice link around 3pm.
just got back from test driving the pilot. vtm-4 is pretty darn good even with the oem tires. in the cr-v you can feel the "realtime awd" kicking in when front wheel slips but vtm-4 is whole different story. wonder how good sh-awd is.

I ended up going into the office anyway. Not a bad drive - only hairy part was Sunset Hwy going down towards the VR tunnel - really slow going. I kept it in second most of the way down. Everyone was going really slow. Luckily not a lot of gravel to pit my windshield - I had it replaced earlier this year.
#1620
i was lucky enough not to be behind anyone when driving into work today.. but i can hear it bouncing around in my fenders.. hopefully i didnt get to many chips in the paint on the sides.. i think tomorrow i am gonna drive our scion or the POS truck.. havent decided.. i am sure traffic will be easier too

So out here where we live it's a bit icey but not too bad, good enough for the wife to drive me to work tomorrow, no way in hell I'll drive the TSX.
But my parents house in Mt. Park is a whole different story, they can't even move an inch without chains!!!!
Kyle - what's wilsonville like?

its not fiberglass, its oem! thats what pisses me off. I guess i'll be taking it off to repair, i'll probably just leave it off till this winter is over. I really need some snow tires. I dont know how you guys can do it. I'm paranoid as fuck. Oregon for life here, cant drive worth shit in the snow

Optima Yellow Top = DEAD
And Acura had a lovely design plan of making it so you cant open your trunk where you might possibly keep jumper cables.
