And they said it wasn't a practical winter car...

I drive mine for all my service calls no matter the weather, and it does as good as any other 2 wheel drive car.
Since I have a one legged rear end I do sometimes have to make sure and try to keep the right tire in a place where it gets better traction, but I have had it in places where after I parked it tried to slide backwards when I let the brake pedal off. :-)

I drove in the snow most of my life though.

The biggest danger to my car is the shitheads that come right up behind you and hit thier brakes at the last second like they would on dry pavement.


Funny this should come up, as I have a 10am appt this morning and I just looked outside to see it snowing like a SOB. :-)
