I am beginning to question why I opted to get the 4Matic rather than a C350





I'll be driving the Lexus ES300 until everything clears up in NYC. Drive safely out there fellas.

It's like 90% of the C300s i see here in the NJ/NYC area are 4matics and rarely do i ever see the rear wheels drive variation of our Cs ?? From what ive learned having a rear wheel drive is fine as long as one has a good set of snow tires

Talk about timing...I will flying into Newark today and be working up just north of the city for the next couple days. Looks like I will be in a front wheel drive rental so no worries...I hope...it has been a while since I have been out in the snow.

With the way people drive and park here in Brooklyn, I don't want to risk having someone smash into the car while I am at work. (Happened last year to the Lexus.) That mixed in with all the salt and debris laying around, I am attempting to avoid paint chips.

Crazy? Maybe . .

Steel Grey Metallic C63!!
My car is parked in my nice dry garage until this snow and salt gets cleared. This snow is nothing compared to the **** I had to deal with in south central virginia this weekend, where I was stuck there for 2 and a half days in the MIDDLE of US-29. Boy, was I PISSED!!!

Did the tires going flat have something to do with the snow?

Just curious.
