just a little rant on my ix snow experience today:
so tolland, ct. got about a foot of snow today. i was at work from 10-6 pushing carts at a grocery store in the snow
. anyways, when i got off work my car, which parked at the end of a very full lot in the morning, was left all alone with about 2 feet of snow pushed against it by plows at the end of the day. the entire town, which is very hilly and hard for plows to get to, was unplowed and was a mess, just deep snow, ruts from cars, and vacant. soem pics of my car at the store lot:
snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats my foot ^
this is the roof of the car:
the spot it was in:
the drive: so anyways, i shoveled the sides away, but left the pile of snow behind my car, about 1.5 feet, backed the car up, just went right through, never slipped. pulled it into a plowed spot and cleaned it off fully, and then was off. the roads, unplowed, were a mess. the way home for me is up a very large hill, one that cars know to avoid when it snows. so i figured, its an ix, lets try her out. i get to it, and theres 3 cars stuck on the side, so i downshift to first and go up the unplowed rut filled hill. the ix went up amazingly, passed vans and trucks and put them to shame. so i got to the top and the roads were still pretty bad. so i drove home around turns and hills and descents. the ix is the most amazing snow car ever. i thought it was good, but not THAT good. im speechless at its performance, simply unbelievable.
the roads:
btw the pics ^ were taken while driving. im aware how dangerous that was, i took them with both hands on the wheel. please don't comment on that
a rwd drive e30 (325i) that got stuck and was abandoned at the lot for the night :o;
end of rant, just very impressed with this car and am amazed that i actually own one. cant wait till this weekend!NOREASTER!!
