EVO IX in the SNOW!
Hey guys I just wanted to say it finally snowed here in Anchorage, Alaska, where the snow actually stuck to the ground. Anyways I switched the ACD to SNOW and I had a BLAST 
driving the Evo IX in the snow.
I dont know it just handles so much better than my WRX...I just feel so much more in control with this car in the snow. E-braking and drifting is awesomely fun...haha...once you hit the gas again the car straightens out in the snow...Anyways just me ranting off on how much fun I had today...
Plus it didnt' snow that much on the roads, can't wait for the inches...haha!

Oh come on guys...Bridgeston Blizzaks WS-50s...dedicated snow tire for Alaskan winters
The best tires I hear you can get for the Evo, they were pretty spendy I ordered from tirerack, but I wanted the ultimate tire fo the ultimate car!
Anyways...EVO IX + Blizzaks + Snow = HECKA FUN

To each his own...but I live in Alaska that's why I bought an AWD car...or else I would have bought a Supra for summer and beater for winter...but winter in Alaska is about 7 months...so I'll stick with the Evo year long!
Oh and I will be careful nothing too crazy and if so clear open lots/roads! HAHA!
