Not only that he doesn't even know what kind of transmission his car has.

Seriously not the brightest and endangering everyone else around you isn't cool either.

"PLOWING..P-L-O-W-I-N-G the snow"

I watched about half the video and not only want my time back but also ask what point is he trying to make?

So he buys a $100k SUV and doesn't properly equip it to drive in the snow.

This is a gem. Can't decide which of the following two moments were my favorite:

A. When he explained that he stored the car last winter because of the tire size; or

B. His pucker moment when the car starts moving sideways while he's in the midst of describing how surefooted it is at 40mph.

Still can't figure out why some people think that the need for proper rubber is a myth.

You forgot the moment when he states he has the double clutch transmission. Not the usual automatic.

The whole thing is a joke. I'm not sure if it's actually serious? Maybe it's meant to be funny.

"here we go, here we go" sliding all around with the traction control light blinking like the lights in times square!

Awesome!

I ended up keeping the car up north and needing to buy another set...wasn't two painful, but two sets in one year...oof. Added spacers to the rear, highly recommend if you don't like the sunken winter look.
