Starting Discover my Subaru's potential part II

   This winter has not been easy, it's been below 30 degrees for longer than I can remember; and it's not over yet. The climate change around here can be tough for any vehicle let alone my Subaru. Despite the fluctuation in temperature, my car is doing well. I now have almost 9,000 miles on it and is almost due for its 10,000 mile service. A couple weeks ago my friend and I decided to go to Skiward for their sweet lift ticket deals. So I folded the seats  we packed both our gear and board in the back and away we went. No issues whatsoever, except it was all of 12 degrees outside. The car performed great like always. I feel safe and confident driving it. This car doesn't have winter tires on it yet (I will wait until the off season to purchase them dude to lower pricing.) it still handles respectively well, I have driven in wicked snow storms with whipping winds blowing snow across the roads, and I even went through the thanksgiving day storm on a 4 hour drive north to Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. Snow can't stop this thing, the cold sure doesn't. Let's see what happens during rain season. Mud Anyone?

An ordinary freezing day

    Today it's only going to be 13 degrees outside in Manchester, NH. My Subaru with its heated seats and cold weather package is more than up to the task of keeping me safe and warm. Today I'm heading out to run a couple errands and this car can do just about anything. Yesterday while driving, I hit a patch of black ice. I thought that was the end of my Subaru's short life. But, with its VDC, and AWD I managed to swerve left and right and avoid hitting anything and drove it on home unscathed. I know if I  was in my old vehicle, a 2004 Scion Xb , it may have been a different story. But that was yesterday.
