For those of ya who dont kno here in charlotte we just got about 7" of snow and we dont get it that often... so of course i took advantages of it! picked up a couple of friends and went offroadin in a neighborhood that is currently under construction... and damn im impressed... the things a beast for a 2wd and loves the cold.. most fun ive had in awhile! i was doin good til i bottomed out on a curb that i didnt kno was there
front wheels were off the ground and had to get my friend to tow me out in her burban.... she was amazed at what i made it thru!

Ouch! Man, you've gotta scope out the curbs before the snow falls!
The east coast is having an awesome Subaru winter.

I did nearly the same thing as vypa, but it wasnt in the snow. I live in mooresville NC when I'm not at school here at Virginia Tech. There is a MASSIVE development called Morrison Plantation that has been in the works for like a year and a half now. Mud Galore
. Me and some buddies caught some nasty air and landed hard on a curb covered in mud. Needless to say.... I had to replace my first Air strut... (damn air suspension). It was fun but costly. Vypa, What part of the queen's city are ya from?

I dunno about the FWD. My AWD was even havin a time. Its pretty deep. The incident of mention happened last summer and since then streets have gone up and the fuzz is always around considering residents have started living in one section. Almost got caught draggin there too
. Fun fun fun. My legacy really smoked two civics. Great stuff. Mathhews is pretty nice. My father and I used to live around that area.

It's snowing in Toronto as I type!!
I love it when I step outside to leave my girlfriend's and realize its been snowing for a while and the streets haven't been plowed yet... I'm definitely starting to love this whole AWD thing!!
Now if only I could find a big parking lot thats out of the way... Not that there's many people up at 3 in the morning

I envy you guys. I live in Denver Colorado where it is supposed to snow. The only problem is that it has not. We have only had one real snowstorm this year and it was like 60 the next day so it is all gone. We have to drive up into the mountains to find snow around here. Then again that makes for a pretty fun trip in itself. You'd be surprised how well the FWD Legacies actually do. I had a guy with me one night that it snowed and he wouldn't believe that my car was FWD. I had to find a big hill with lots of ice and let him out and spinn the fronts alot before he would believe me.
