This "RWD" undriveable in the snow stuff is total bull****. I live in Massachusetts and drove a RWD car in winter all the time. There are LOTS of others who do this, including REALLY bad drivers with V6 Mustangs and such. Get a decent set of snow tires and you are as well off as any FWD/AWD guy on the road. My Evolution slid around everywhere with my ADVANs, AWD did't help ****.

Besides if its REALLY bad you start in 2nd gear.

The first no is spelled correctly. You didn't mention misspelling suppose with supost.


Get the G35X!!! That car has beautiful styling, makes great power, and is as luxurious as it gets. All this in an AWD equals many days ahead. For that price range you can't go wrong.

Back to the no/know controversy, the first no should have been a no not a know, so the kid asking questions with little care for spelling was right.... 3 times

The kid who couldn't spell wasn't the one who corrected the 4 vs 3, so there was no point at which he was right.

As for you, I know "should of" sounds right phonetically, but it should be "should have." It absolutely amazes me how many people make this mistake...

No way is a GS300 "sick." It's dog slow at best, especially with AWD, since the lighter IS300 I had was dog slow to begin with, yet weighed several hundred less pounds. It also would cost a lot more than these cars mentioned.

Yah, you said "sick" which implies it's very fast. People just exaggerate too much. The GS300 is nice...having AWD doesn't make it more attractive...it just makes it better in the snow. Having had an IS300 that was really slow, I can only imagine the GS300 is even slower...

if you are considering those other cars... don't buy an evo... do me and you a favor... and just don't do it. the evo is not a oooh awd car... it's a car that takes subarus's lil all wheel drive empire and takes a **** down its throat because it's made for one thing... and that's not to make your *** more soft. in fact... **** soft cars... go get yerself a new is or a gs watered down skyline wannabe and save yoruself the 10k you'll lose by reselling to someon who really actually wants the car.
