The RX8 is fun to drive in any weather but, in the harsh weather conditions the RX8 is not safe and functional in those conditions

Looks fun, but you should learn to drift.

Wo in Deutschland wohnst du? Meine Freunde in Bayern haben mir erzählt, dass sie Schnee haben.

Dein Film ist cool, hast du Schneereifen?

Ja servus,

bin direkt aus München / Pasing. Wir hatten jetzt mal kurzzeitig Schnee. Ist aber alles wieder weg.

Über's Osterwochenende war ich im Harz, da ist dann auch das Video entstanden. Allerdings war's dort soviel mit Schnee, dass ich ohne Winterreifen überhaupt nicht voran gekommen wäre...

I currently live in Salt Lake. I have snow tires and have no problem in the snow. With stock tires, driving in snow is suicide...I know, i've lost control going 70 and ended up in a ditch (no damage luckily)

I lived in Burghausen for a little while, so I know Munich a bit, but I have never been to the Harz mountains.

We just got some more snow, and that is not much but enough to make my car drive horribly and I don't have snow tires. So you can figure I didn't drive that day.

I took that one with the phone.
