Default AWD in wet weather today!

Ok just another reminder why I choose at suby! At the lights at Dog Swamp around 1:15pm today and got to witness an idiot in a new green ford V8 go completely sideways trying to wot when lights turned green. Smacked the curb and must have wrecked his wheels, almost brought tears to my eyes but I was too busy on wot myself well down the road. All-wheel drive and All-weather drive!

Subies are excellent in the wet though what can turn bad is over confidence and lack of experience... but yeah they defiently hold their selfs well

Just took me 45 mins to get from vic park to west perth because of dickheads in the rain. Give it up, and don't drive like morons.

It's not a racetrack.

agree 100% and after driving for 25 years without an accident I think I have it down pretty good! Driving through snow covered mountain passes 12,000 feet in Nor California is good place to learn quickly!!

still reckon as part of driver training to send 'potential' drivers to europe.. drive on frozen lakes and roads... etc (like i did) and try to see how braking and accelerating is then im sure there be less rear endings cos people know the brake threshold and distance needed. i see this everyday cos i drive a 22ton truck fully loaded and u see the diks cutting us off thinking we can stop in distances as less as a rex wishful thinking.. anyways hehe
