Yea, shes shook up but the ditch was full of snow and forgiving. I think I swore as she entered the ditch, Im so thankful there wasnt a semi coming or another car. And SUV's are always riding me haha.

Chris the traction control wont toss you in the ditch unless something is wrong with it. When working it actually does a great job. Lots of times on ice I would have it kick in and was able to keep on moving. The only thing that slowed me down in the monte was when it was to deep and I was plowing snow. Eventually you will build up enough to get yourself high centered. I never did, but came close a few times with 12 inches of wet deep snow on the road unplowed.

Chis basicly framing it so drive wheels (Fwd in your case Rwd in mine) are off the ground becase snow has pack in between the frame/cradle

I've dealt with Matt at Reflective Concepts quite often lately. Been working on things for the Impala... he's pretty quick about replying to e-mails, if you don't hear from him in a day or so I'd say go ahead and try again, I've had a few that didn't make it to him (not sure if it's his server or mine, most likely mine). He has a lot more then what is shown on his web site and even if he doesn't have it, ask him he'll try and get you what your looking for. For what it's worth to the rest of the crowd, he's a great guy with a great company and QUICK service. I highly recommend you take a look.
