My first was today and they were sweet.. but the slip light kept coming on. I guess I do have a lead foot on the car and the car was just snowplowing ahead.

Compared to the freaks that don't know how to drive in snow. It was a necessary evil that had to be taken. Besides the thought of having my G smashed again by another driver would have just made me go flippin bonkers and possibly throwing snowballs at the person's face until the keystone kops with car 54 came around.

The lower it is the more problems in the deeper stuff;
slush in the middle etc.

I generally avoid using the car in those conditions,
but it's still OK.
Never been stuck with it,...knock on wood

No problems here. But I avoid deep snow as much as possible. Actually my car looks lower than it is. Kinda cool!

My coupe is lowered on Eibach pro-kit springs. I have 17 inch Hankook W300 Ice Bears. Getting through the higher snow on my street was pretty good (didn't snowplow with my front lip at all)...the 401 when changing lanes through the "tire tread lanes" was a little scary at times. Felt the back end wobble a bit but that could also be because I am almost on empty and haven't put any kitty litter bags in the trunk yet. All in all, not a bad drive though from Leslie&401 to Hurontario. Took about 30 mins more then usual but that was mostly due to other drivers taking it slow, and the 4 -5 accidents I saw on the way.
