Fun fun fun fun fun fun fun! Manual cars seem to run better in the snow. Put a few sand bags in the trunk to get more weight back there. No one or car is going to not slip and slide in the real slick stuff. Find an open parking lot and learn how to drive a little better in the snow. Find the slip angles and correct when you do get into a slide. Practice the braking too. If you have ABS, see how well it works. Light pressure on the brakes. Once you lock them up you have no steering, fwd or not.

I love driving in the snow and have done it in many different cars. Unfortunately it doesn't snow much here in Louisiana and seems to be happenig less and less.......global warming? If so, soon we won't have to worry about driving in the snow..............sigh.
