Default This car is horrible when it comes to snow

Not even driving in snow, just to park or get out of the parking. I got stuck at least 3 times in the last two days. I had to have people push me out since I kept spinning out at school -_-


Thank God it only snows a few times a year here, otherwise I'd destroy this car. I know I should have gotten some weight in the trunk, but eh. My 2 cents

put on some skinny snow tires, put 100 pounds of lead shot in your spare tire well, and you will be good to go.

Ok its not easy but if you know how to drive its not that bad. TCS helps pretty decently.I got stuck once last year and that was because the turn lane was not plowed so it was still 3-4 inches of snow. This year no problems in the snow. You just can't go driving in first cause there is too much power.

5 gallon bucket of sand and two 40 pound weights and a set of blizzaks will do just fill

Yesterday we had 4 to 6 inches on the roads and I was out before the plows had caught up. Never once had any problems. The Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 tires I put on all four are pawing through the slush and powder and keeping me on the road. Invest in a set of wheels and snow tires for winter!
