We got a few inches last night. First time I have had the chance to drive in the snow with the GP. VERY IMPRESSIVE! Low track light once and only one fishtale... in a parking lot

I got to drive my mom's GP last night, wasn't too impressed by it. ABS actually kicked in a few times, couldn't figure out why. Wasn't breaking very hard at all. I think I'll just stick to my car in snow...no ABS system to mess with.

I've never had much trouble in the snow with my GP. The two nice snows I did drive in last year, I just slid when I was breaking. Just let off and hit the brakes again to stop the slide and I was fine. It has plenty of grip on hills/curves, but some of that is related to the thin stock tires on the SE.

Just got back from another trip to town... roads are covering over and it's coming down pretty good. The morning is going to suck when I go into work.

Shoveled 14 inches of snow out of my driveway on thursday morning. On wednesday while leaving work my GT2 drove past 6 other co-workers that were stuck in drifts in the parking lot and front road, laughed my ass off. Love the TC. http://img518.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img3489hm7.jpg

couple nights ago we had some freezing rain. took a corner at 10mph and slid into a brick pillar. now i need a new front fender. they don't salt in my little community where i live so it was worse than an ice rink. other than that we can get a foot of snow and i can get to school 14 miles away without the low trac or abs kickin in. like brown said its amazing how people forget how they drove in snow 6 months ago.

the ppl that make me angry are the ppl that go 10-20 mph on freeway entrance ramps...like yeah, be cautious, but when im merging onto I94 or US23 the speed limits 70, im doin 15 mph and a semi is coming at me at around 55-60 i want to go....maybe if i woulda bought a GTP i wouldn't have the issue of worrying about speeding up :p but seeing as how my SE is stock....ya...
i raced my best friends 03 Chevy Malibu last night and it tore me up lol. Gogo same engine but 32000000 pounds lighter. wish i had the 3.8 :[

Man, the past two days have been the finest in months here. Yesterday and today, the high has been mid-60s. Just enough for the Stratus' sunroof and windows to be let down for the ride.
