:cry: :x :cry: :x :cry: :x It was a cold snowy morning. My Kizashi AWD was being a real trooper. Traffic was slow on the freeway...except for the 2006 Mazda 6i zooming behind me way too fast and slammed right into the back of my Kizashi, destroying the tail completely, and I then rammed into a comme...

Drive through a nasty snow and ice storm that caused a pretty big blackout.

Interesting. Do you see a lot of them there? Is awd popular because of the weather or something else? We get a lot of snow in the winter at 5000ft elevation, and we have a dozen resorts up in the mountains. That ski/snow culture makes AWD and 4WD VERY popular in this part of the country.

I just got a 2010 red GTS AWD about two weeks ago, and today was my first chance to test the AWD system in a pretty good snow and ice storm that's been going on for the last 20 hours. The storm is bad enough to leave 24,000 people without power. My previous AWD vehicle was a 2008 Subaru Legacy GT au...
