Interesting…with the two cars in our household being a 2023 Subaru Outback “Wilderness” edition, and the other my 1987 944 NA - that while the Subie seems able to chew through pretty much anything we can throw at it here in northern Vermont…I find that all of the various nannies which make this possible can make me feel just a bit…disconnected?

The 944, on the other hand…shod in its wonderful/amazing Blizzaks - I find completely predictable, and I’ve become very confident driving it around in pretty much anything but very thick/watery slush or very deep snow as I’m leery of it getting sucked into the air intake. (hmmm…maybe change over to a K+N for winter?)

…and if I want an extra bit of excitement, there is a long and curvy dirt road hill in our neighborhood which, when covered with a nice packed base of icy snow, invites a series of uphill drifts which equate to about ten cups of strong coffee (if you get my drift!).

Oh, and studs? Never!
