Christmas eve: Worked 6 hours, got off, drove 360 miles on ice. Not snow or slush, but solid ice. Through a couple of white outs, and areas where you couldn't tell the road from the field next to it. The element's AWD system is quite spectacular.. I didn't think it would really do anything worth a damn. But it works.
Hung out with family in New Mexico for a few days, and drove 360 miles back. 99% of the ice was gone by then.
