What about taxiing during inclement weather on taxiways covered in rain, ice, or snow? A large benefit of using the engines to taxi during poor weather conditions is that if/when the tires lose traction, the engines are capable of controlling the direction of the aircraft through the use of engine thrust.

I just passed 50k miles on my '02 and it has been problem free!

Please please please give it a third pedal!
