    I owned that LS 430 for several years in the high mountains of Colorado. Even with summer tires, it was well behaved during the months where your tires would never touch road (only several inches of packed snow and ice). It was also quite capable of driving on dirt forest service roads almost as bad as what you just tested. What's more, if you turned off the ASR, you could drive a hundred yards forward with the car 45 degrees sideways... it was buttery smooth and easy to feather. Last, it started without fail, including on an unusually cold morning where the temperature was -45 degrees. Everything about that car, including the factory Mark Levinson audio system, was top notch. Did I mention it got 28 MPG on the highway?
