Took my X-type out for a spin in the snow after a big storm.

Was kidding. It should be fine. A daytime video would be nice too.

Fun, yes...but man that car doesn't sound too happy! Don't make this a daily habit!

I will say this though, that was a lot of snow and the car took it like a champ! I dabble in messing around in snow at times, too. However, I'm constantly doing E-brake manuvers and reverse donuts= lame fwd!

Edit: So what was the $4500 of damage!?! d'oh.

I meant to put $450 not $4500 worth of damage. I bent 3 wheels and it cost $150 each to to get them straightened. My engine temp light didnt come on so the car over heated so bad that the coolant melted the coolant resovoir, luckily that was covered under warrenty. Ill tell you one thing though, I will never beat on my car like that again. That was a one time thing.
