  1. Bummer. I parked my black wagon next to the STI...hope driver got a smile out of seeing little brother wagon parked nearby. Subaru owners unite!
  2. I saw a nice black STI with Prodrive rims at Walgreen's on Chesterfield Parkway yesterday...was that you Bbc84? If not sorry...can't help you.
  3. "if you have 2, 4, or 1000 tires on slippery snow you will not have traction." Don't get mad, get better tires! Rally cars do 60+ on snow/ice without much trouble. It's all about having the right equipment, skills, and most importantly knowing the limits of your car. 5,000lb. vehicles with summer tires trying to turn or stop on a dime...that's when the trouble starts. And yeah, they make me mad too. Driving around yesterday (ice and ice pellets), the only cars slid out on the side of the road were SUVs.
  4. Another data point. Yesterday in St. Louis we had an inch or two of "ice pellets"...like icy ball bearings on the road. Not as bad as smooth ice, worse than snow, and pretty exciting driving. This time, and in the past, my 05 Legacy GT wagon 5MT has not had this tail-wagging issue. It does do 4-wheel power slides very well, heh heh. Car is bone-stock, with three-year-old RE92's on it...and I did get up to 40-45mph on some stretches of straight 4-lane road with no traffic...just for fun. So at least one LGT with no issue. It sounds from the detailed descriptions to be an actual issue. I'm thinking along the lines of left/right torque distribution, too. Good luck. edit: at least in my experience these cars (stock) understeer like a mofo! Maybe not as bad as a Toyota, but lots of front-end push going on...
