I love my X in the snow

i'm sure that you've all heard it, but man it is so much fun to just gun it through 8 inches of snow and even worry about it. sorry, i've always had front wheel drive cars and now, wow, it's so amazing. i just wished that it would snow more.

on a side note, i did hear a grinding/ticking sound from my front wheel when it does "slip", went to the dealership today and they said it was normal. is it? just want to make sure the "guy" wasn't just trying to get me out of the shop because it was a saturday. thanks.


oh yea, btw, the best line was from my roommate when we went to office max, "I have got to get me one of these." hehe.

Is that when you are coming to a stop and the anti lock is kicking in? It's really nice...I took it out for a spin when it was like 6 or 7 inches of snow. I am in NY...what about you?

Specialist, my X makes the same noise, I believe it is normal and is associated with the tcs or vdc. I notice the noise when my slip light comes on (it is barely audible)

Nissan has the Z, we have the G, now you guys are coming up with X for all our g35x

It's funny how you said "my X makes the same noise"...thought you meant your X-GF for a second

hehe I guess it is funny if you replace X with "x girlfriend" in some of these posts.
