safe trip guys

TinyGiant · 12-19-2008, 09:18 PM

more like 6-10 inches..

but i have to say the yaris cut through the snow like a champ.. 40-45 down the highway with ease.. slow take offs obviously but when cruising it felt pretty safe :)

there as a good 4-6" in spots onthe high way from build up and such and the car didnt slide around at all. :)
