Control Snow How does a G35 w/ real wheel drive and traction control handle in the ice and snow?
Thinking about buying this car but it is real wheel drive and I'm concerned about winter driving. Any advice? Oops, "rear wheel drive"
shouldn't be a problem as long as you drive carefully like one should in winter weather. the only thing with rwd vs fwd or 4 x 4 is that most of the power comes from the rear so you have to watch out for fishtailing and the rear slipping off the road easier. but that shouldn't deter you from deciding vs another car. most of the luxury cars are rwd anyways, at least bmw is.

Snow Chain Control history for fighting a ticket?
I was trapped in a snow storm that came suddenly on highway 89 going north (Lake Tahoe). I pulled over to install the snow chains and a cop gave me a ticket for not having snow chains on and installing it in an unsafe area. I swear the chain control sign was not on (flashing) when I passed it and the road was dry and clean before the storm. When the storm came, my van was slipping, making it necessary for an emergency stop on the shoulder to install the chains. How do I fight this ticket? Where do I find official record or time history of road condition needing chain control? It was 7am in the morning.
This story was on Pharyngula today- it is a terrible reminder of the inequities in this society-
“When Highway Patrol Cpl. Dennis Engelhard was killed in a Christmas Day traffic accident near Eureka, the agency described him as single with no children.
Gov. Jay Nixon called on Missourians to pray for Engelhard's family, who “lost a beloved son and brother.”
Neither statement tells the whole story.
Engelhard, hit by a car that lost control in the snow, was gay. He left behind a partner of nearly 15 years who was not mentioned in his obituary or official information released by the Highway Patrol, although members of the agency knew about his sexual orientation.
If Engelhard had been married, his spouse would be entitled to lifetime survivor's benefits from the state pension system — more than $28,000 a year.
But neither the state Highway Patrol pension system nor Missouri law recognizes domestic partners.”
hakata has it right. I daily-drive a manual transmission Mustang in the Northeast. I put a set of Blizzaks on the stock 17×8 wheel (the Bullitt style) then bought the same wheel in a staggered 18×9, 18X10 combo for the warm months. Usually end up putting the snows on Dec 1 and look to get the fatties on there April 1 (ain’t happening this year, though). The traction control, snow tires and manual transmission – I have never been stuck. If there’s that much snow, I stay put. I traded a 96 Impala SS for the Mustang and did the same thing. Never a problem. Got a set of police wheels with snow tires for the winter. Even though the smaller wheels didn’t look as good as the stockers I pretty much had the left lane to myself from December to April.
