Yeah.. I know what your talking about. I tried to post a link on the org. lastnight and nobody was able to view it. I realized that I wasn't sharing the photos publically online and I was the only one who could see them.

Hey Jason, you're right, the Max handled it well. I came from BF Leesburg (where the plows just sit on the side of the road) and it wasn't that bad.

Wish I could say the same. Got stuck on a hill this morning (about 2 inches) and had to back down to get a running start. I am fine when going straight, but once the wheel turns it breaks loose and just keeps straight. Saw a 350z go up about 3 cars before me. Time to get new tires I guess!

I got stuck on the hill and two cops pushed my car, what an honor. Having a nearly-bold tires doesn't help. Winter tires here I come.

Yep, 7.5 inches here in BelAir Maryland.

I'm not sure if I'll try the AE in the snow or not. I've always known the
Potenzas weren't great in much of anything but when I bought the AE
it came with Cooper tires on it. I'll have to research them and see what
I find out...they're brand new.

I have Blizzaks for the Prelude so they'll be getting mounted sometime soon.
Drove the wifes Integra to work since it runs on skinnies and we both don't like that car and wish it'd get hit.

This was my first time in the snow with my Max today.
FWD vehicles are ok in the snow. But let me just say I was cursing my fffing potenzas all morning. I could be driving through 1/2 inch of snow and I was sliding all over the place. They really tick me off. I was in Downingtown, Pa this morning and on my way home I sat on the turnpike for 1 1/2hrs because some idiots were flying and lost control causing a 4 car wreck.

less than 4k on stock tire and it side freakin every where, even when I brake slowly and ABS scare the crap out of me! With only little snow covering. My 95 accord with SUMMER tire can stick to the snow better and abs don't kick on often.
