My tires SUCK in the cold, I’m actually glad my car has VSA so I don’t hurt myself in this cold weather. The flip side of that coin is its fun to hang the back end out with very little effort. ---

The flip side of that coin is its fun to hang the back end out with very little effort. AWD helps. 🙂 Remember, it’s MUCH warmer down here. We have yet to see snow all year except for one day where a few flakes fell and that lasted an hour or so. ---
