Didn't look like we got that much last night.
Although, I'm looking outside from the 2nd storey. So...it may be different when I get on the roads...

Newmarket was pretty slippery this morning with about 5", and another 3" when I got home.
Traction control? I wish it defaulted to off. Personally I find it annoying. It's gotten to the point that it's as automatic to shut it off as it is to turn on the fogs when I start the car up.
Now only if ABS didn't kick in when I hang on to that parking brake a little too long going around the corners.

pull the parking brake? you crazy ;) hehe
I just love flying past everyone thats doing 30....cause I my car doesnt fishtail nearly as much as theirs would driving the way I can in the snow :biggrin:
Snow covered roads are fun!
Oh and I have to give some credit to my Michelin snow tires :tongue:

My traction control sucks too. I turn it off during the winter. Almost had a few accidents because it almost stalled out the engine in a sticky situation.
No snow yet in Milton....

LOL Ajay!!
I tried it a few times with the Probe.....I just hate how the snow goes inside the rims and puts the tires out of balance.
How would the Traction Control cause you guys problems in the winter???

I don't have Traction control....and I'm fine :)
I don't think my ABS works though.....ah well
Dan, if you don't have traction control, you don't have ABS. ;)
Maybe thats why its not working. :tongue:

Being a Ford Employee and expert in this field... hahahaha.... no but seriously, you can get a cougar with just ABS and no traction control. ABS is an option, and so is TC..... i hope this helps,
I guess i'm wrong, but I thought they came as a package. Oh well. :)

sorry for the late reply, but i was up in collingwood last weekend, mdid they ever get burried, i have seriously never seen that much snow in my life, but life there still goes on, they had everything plowed in hours and i even saw a electrical scooter thing with snow tires
just thought i'd add some to this.
