  1. I see you have the 350 in CO, how does that work in the winter for ya?

    We had a pretty mild winter this year so no problems. I have a set of Blizzaks for the winter and it handled reasonable amounts of ice and snow better than my old Camry. For the heavy snow days (2) I drove my Durango. Note that the VDIM and Traction Control work well when the car is moving, but getting started on a slick surface is painful. They limit the RPMs to about 1000 and will not let you spin the wheels even a little to get moving. It's like the car is possessed and under someone else's control. The first time it happened to me I thought the engine had died. But, no, it was clamped at 1000 RPM. I never really played with it enought to really understand how it "helps". So, there's a tradeoff - use VDIM and Trac Control for stability when moving on snow and ice but suffer when getting rolling, or turn the VDIM off and get no "assistance" from the car. I'm not sure which is better and which is worse.

    What is a VDIM??

  2. I own a Lexus IS250 Luxury, black with black leather and that combination makes the car look so gangsta that the respect that I get now in school is so big that there aint a guy who would say a bad thing about me. By the way, the manual is so damn good that I beated a Subari Impreza WRX in a drag race.
