AWD is my friend. Jacob Send a noteboard - 05/01/2010 06:29:06 PM
We now have 33 inches ( 83.82 centimeters)

1: Do you have snow? How much?


We have about 12 to 14 inches right now.

2: Do you drive an automatic or a standard?


I drive an All-Wheel Drive automatic.

3: Why do you choose to drive your above answer?


It is simply the best combination of traction and control that you can get when driving in slippery conditions, especially when you add in good tires. Also, while I enjoy manual transmission driving with 'fun' cars, I'd rather have both hands on the wheel when driving in adverse conditions, rush hour, or with my family in the car.

4: Where do you live?


Minnesota

5: Add a question of your own.

Or people who like to actually be in control of their cars. Automatics are sloppy. Ghavrel - 04/01/2010 11:13:17 PM 609 Views

Acceleration is useless in automatics. I don't know why people even try to argue this. Ghavrel - 05/01/2010 06:11:00 AM 585 Views
I don't understand why its useless in automatics. I accelerate just fine. callandor1000 - 05/01/2010 06:31:33 AM 752 Views
As I said before, its a question of preferring control, not of "needing" it. Ghavrel - 05/01/2010 08:10:15 AM 589 Views
