Well fellow Ottawa area people how did you like waking up to all that snow!? Disgusting! Although it does put me in the Christmas spirit so I think I will put my Christmas lights up in my window today. But first I must clean up after the party I had last night.

The snow sucks, and no im not in no xmas spirit bah humbug. I think im in the snow tire spirit though. Also need to cover the floor better in the vibe. The snow mats are too small, Ill have to think of something.Have a look at the link below if you wanna see the percipitationhttp://

quote:Mine handled just well (I have winter tires!!!)Me too! We don't have that much snow, yet, but enough to test out the at limit dynamics of the car.I am so impressed. The car is very balanced for snow handling. I increase my speed in the corners until the front end pushes, back off and the line tightens perfectly. Very nice.I found a snowy parking lot to test out the handbrake this a.m., handbrake turns are so much fun Makes my bride nauseous though

I'm really excited. I didn't make it out Boarding once last winter. Last winter brutal for no snow... plus it didn't help that we took posession of our new home in January.

We're finally getting some snow out here in Calgary over the past week - there's nothing more depressing than living only 45 minutes from the best boarding in Canada and there's no snow! 2fatty, I went to Nakiska on Thursday, and it was awesome. Looking for more tomorrow.On a car-related note, I'm holding off on the snow tires for now since there's only a few blocks in my neighbourhood where the snow doesn't get plowed or pushed away by all the traffic. I just can't decide on what to get - it's the rims that are killing me (I can't stomach the thought of steelies on my little beaut....)!

Our Vibe went well through the winter storm I just drove through coming home from Florida. Over 6000Kms in the last 2 weeks!!! The Vibe performed flawlessly!!!
