Looks nice
Did you get your stock rims painted or powder coated?

Hey, I think I have that same camera!

Thanks for the pics, but be careful driving that beautiful machine in the snow.

Interestingly (because I was mostly joking when I made the comment), YES! I have a Cybershot too. I'm planning to upgrade too, but haven't decided what. We do a lot of hiking in the Colorado mountains, and one of the new GPS enabled cameras might be fun (and save me an hour putting together trip maps for my family).

As for handling in the snow: the car is a big part of success, but in the end it's the driver that makes or breaks it. Nothing like lots of practice!

Drive safe!

I have not seen those in camera's yet......I dont think I would want that as it would be something else to break and go bad in.....and then be about the same price to replace as much as buying the thing over again.....Kinda like our cars!

Great shots. Funny...I live in NJ and got caught in last weeks 2-3" snowfall. The battery in my Maxima was dead and my wife had the Expedition. I never thought I would drive a car worse in the snow than my modded 300ZX Twin-Turbo.....but the S-Type R was twice as bad. Most of the credit goes to the crap tires (nexen N3000...summer compound no less). At one point the car was stepping out sideways idiling at a light before I mashed the brake harder. At least the 300ZX had limited slip and 45 profile tires. I ordered Continental extreme contact's from tire rack 30 minutes after I got to work that morning. I'm all for having fun in the snow but the thing would barely move.

I dont seem to have that issue.....I have P Zeros up front and blizzacks in the rear stock sizes, and I pass most SUV, 4x4 trucks.......Im used to driving it in this weather and fun to get it sideways sometimes
It is great seeing people looks when I do haha
