Great Video. Did you have the all-season tires on it? and is the turn indicator as loud as it sounds in the video?

Turn signal is loud, like they used to be. We used to call them tickers because of the noise they made. Hard to forget to turn it off with that chatter, but not annoying.

Hey, I drove that G8 GT, it is a 888, gray, premium package with all seasons (not summers).

From the video it was driven on the frontage road and on I 394 in Minnesota.

they had about 8 inches of wet, heavy, slushy snow on Friday. Driving conditions were less than ideal on side roads, but the highway wasn't bad.

I don't think snow and RWD is going to be a problem with me...

I sure hope that wasn't a dealer driving around a new, not sold car.

That's why GM makes them loud - so you don't forget its on.

I caught grief when I posted a pic of my GTO with some slush on the bottom. Sheesh!

Thanks for the video link. It seemed to do well enough.

I bought the car to drive it. It is WAY to much fun to stick it in the garage for 6+ months that we get snow up here. Slap on a set of snowies, hit the car wash on a regular basis and it's fine IMO.

I've driven past countless cars and trucks in the ditch. 3 rules to winter driving - you can't start, you can't stop, and neither can anyone else. Keep that in mind and you're fine.
