Unless they’re decals, something is fucky about a “2002 E46 M3" with face-lift headlights.

so we can make shit go faster than it did stock. next question?

Ha. Yeah, outside of Red Deer sure. This entire damn city is built in and on a river valley. You don’t go north or south without going up or down a slidey hill.

By law all vehicles in the province of Quebec have to have snow tires. If you don’t you could be held responsible for the accident.

No matter how much experience you have with ice and snow, sometimes shit just be dat way.

Yeah, it is pretty steep. Also, it’s our first official snow fall of the year in MTL and it rained all weekend, so it’s probably a solid ice rink under that thin layer of snow. Most people don’t have their winters on yet.

Glad a stayed home, but to be fair that street (beaver hall) is steep as fuck, if it was that icy, no amount of skills would have saved anyone.

I used to live on a pretty steep hill, up here in NH. Despite being a pretty snowy place, lots of people keep summer (or “all season”) tires on their car, so every slippery storm I’d sit on my front porch and watch people try to muscle their way up the hill (eventually offering help if it seemed like they were…

1. Snow tires will do precisely zero if you’re sliding down an icy slope.

They’re the folks from “up there” who only take breaks from hockey and profuse apologies to laugh at us Americans who voted for Trump.

Well to be fair just about everyone in Canada magically forgets how to drive in the first snowfall.

Oh I know. And I love it. I have summer tires on my car rather than all seasons specifically because the city will shut down if it ever becomes an issue. And if work wants me to come in anyway, even though the city is shut down: “Sorry, can’t. Car has summer tires. I’m stuck.”

Actually, this was the last ‘X’ version wagon GM made. The Turbo X wagon came out about 18mos before the 9-3x. And it is everything they described.

There is something called a used market, and if you removed all of the exterior styling as Kspraydad suggested, you would have yourself a bland looking B6 Passat. Which was available in the US.

The last time GM made an ‘X’ version wagon, it was awesome (and incidentally the opposite of everything you described).

No, you wouldn’t because they aren’t made anymore for US consumption.

Sweep-spear is the correct term, and it has been a Buick signature styling element for decades.

The current model is available with AWD, so I would think so. A stick will probably only be found in Europe..

If it’s anything like the last OPC Insignia then AWD & a stick is highly likely.

I rather dig it. Not a lot of wagon choices so it would be great to have. Can they make it AWD? A stick would be nice but who are we kidding at this point.
