My Snowmobile

It is a snowy day in Chicago with 4-6 inches of snow and about 1/2" of sleet and ice. The IL Dept of Transportation has issued travel advisory and reccommended necessary travel only. 4" of unplowed snow on my street. HA! my trusty 996 equipped with Blizzaks goes through snow like $hit through a goose!

What a great daily driver!

We need pictures of your snowmobile.

I'm going to be there next week, is it available?

Here it is without snow. I have the Blizzaks mounted on 18" Twist wheels and my
summer tires on BBS.

C4 or C2? Congrats on being a "user" and not a "dabbler".

It is a C2. I have a friend with a C4 and all-season tires and he does not drive in snow at all. We had another 4" (about what my wife gets) yesterday and I saw some nut in a 996 Turbo tooling around like a bad Japanese drift racer.
