Who says lancers arn't good in the snow

I was at my buddies house today and he has a stone driveway to his grandparents house next to his which is about a 1/4 mile long covered in snow. The snow was about 5 inches deep and my one buddy in his bronco was driving up about 150 feet into the driveway. I thought it looked like fun and wanted to see how far my car could make it so i went for it, i made it all the way up the drive way and all the way back down. here are some pictures of it, and i have a video to which i may post as well.

Yea lancers are pretty good in the snow. We got 12'' of snow here in michigan 2 weeks ago and I moved my car from the driveway to the garage and I had no problem. My car is even lowered 1.5in and I still got through it. (I had my winter tires on) Yea.. APC makes chrome wiper blades. They work really good. I had them on my old Talon. I'm about to pick up another pair tomorrow because my wiper blades are wore out now.. finally after 23k miles lol.

My lancer becomes a sled in the snow. I have the stock wheels and I slide around more than a naked fat man on a slip'n slide that's been buttered with peanut oil. I need new tires.

Yes, good winter tires make all the difference. When my tires started to show a little bit of wear, I slid everywhere and got no traction.
