The X sure is a gas guzzler and you really feel it when paying $4.60 for gas in Kalifornia. But it made the trip like a champ and the new Blizzaks handled about 300 miles and snow and ice extremely well.



The highlight of the trip was when I was going about 35-40 on a really slick, icy highway, and Mr. Van Life tailgating me finally gets the confidence to pass, and almost spins his Sprinter van as soon as he gives it the gas. He pulled over without hitting anything and we had a good laugh.
Only people that live in the mountains have a clue about driving in the snow out here.
