What is this snow you guys are talking about? LOL.

One of the few things I like about Alabama. I remember Christmas last year it was 65 degrees and sunny.

Definitely! It's just a car afterall! Thankfully my employer is very cool about us working from home and being mobile (working at the Warren Tech Center today instead of my usual location at the Renaissance Center) so when we have large snow storms I usually just work from home. But I did score a free set of winter rims and tires a few months ago so while I've still driven in the snow in the past, I'm not going to be as afraid of driving in the snow this year.

I actually laughed out loud when I read the title of this! Hell NOOOOOO I'm not driving mine in the snow! She doesn't even see rain if I can help it. She'll be tucked away in the garage, under a cover on storage insurance. Hoping to make it to November before putting her up. I do drive her a few times in the winter but only on sunny hasnt snowed in weeks so no salt on the road days.

Hey OP, I found a good sticker for ya to put on your dash this winter. lol

Red=Park It, Green=Sport Mode, White/Orange=Use All Nannies for safety

>>>drive carefully. remember the 1\4 inch snow cover is way more slick than the 6-8" storm.

Ill probably be driving mine. My only other option is to drive a drag car I will be building lol

Advice for winter driving... I lived in upstate/central new york where we have had 48 inches overnight before (Valentines Day lol). First I prefer All-Season or Winter tires over studs.

Be careful around corners and dont follow too close obviously. Front wheel drive is a breeze to drive in the winter but rear wheel really isnt that bad anymore due to TC and Stabilitrak like everyone has said. Just be vigilant and pay attention and youll be fine.

PS In Utica, where I lived a remote start was an absolute necessity as you would go outside to your car in the morning to find the doors frozen shut lol

Moving down to DC was laughable. People in the south are so scared of driving in snow. I have driven to work in a foot of snow in NY before... on the highway lol I guess it is just what you are used to. In the DC area if there is a dusting of snow everything shuts down lol

Summer Car:


Winter Car (snow tires on stock rims):

I live in Exton, PA and it is my only car so I have to use it in the winter. I have snow tires on it and it is fine. On days where there is snow on the ground ... you just have to go a little slower and use caution but it performs fine no problems at all. A blizzard may be a different story ...... luckiily I have a lot of vacation time at my job so I can easily call in a sick day.

19 inch wheels and Bridgestone Blizzaks make this the best vehicle I've driven in the winter in 50 years!!!!!!!! I can go places that 4wheel drives have trouble going.
