Smile Just bought my winter muscle car!

I swear my E55 is worthless in the winter. No matter how slowly I try to get on it the rear end breaks lose and traction control cuts the power. So I solved my problem and bought a 2012 Kia Sorento AWD! Any takers?

I don't drive mine in the winter either, but you were doing it on true snow tires, correct?

Required in any area of weather.

Congrats on the new purchase. Any mods?

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
True snow tires makes a HUGE improvement even with AWD. But the Kia is a nice piece, Kia has really come a long ways and is now one of my favorite mainstream brands.

Kia and Hyundai are making some great vehicles. Looking forward to their getting into the sports car segment big time. They will.

Luckily i have access to my dad's 97 Toy 4runner to get around when it snows. I sure miss my FZJ 93 Land Cruiser. That thing could go through almost anything!
