    Maybe the only idiot in the city of Chicago - I'll be the idiot in the suburbs driving mine. I drove to work today and just got back home. The car was just as amazing as it always is in the snow. Traffic was very heavy since I think every business decided to close early. I did get some strange looks from other drivers as I cruised by effortlessly.
