Six to Eight inces around Chicago this past week.
I was passing pickups with the Blizzacks.

Bridgestone Blizzaks on 18" Tucana rims, works just fine. The heated windshield is great in the mornings and the car seems to heat up even faster than my previous daily ride, a SAAB 9-5.

DSC is helpful to keep the supercharger from spinning the wheels too much, but it's great fun to turn it off once in a while. ;-)

My Saab 900 never warmed up .. ever. Even after 5 hours on the highway. It was also prone to understeering right off the road in snow because of the FWD.

Great cargo carrier though.

Total parts cost in 8 years: 1 set of alternator brushes.
