I cant imagine driving in that! Id have to kiss my chin spoiler goodbye. Move to SoCal and you dont have to worry about it. but then you got C.A.R.B. so chose the lesser of two evils. Good luck making it through another winter!

I live in Texas! It don't snow down here, ever! Neeyah! Neeyah!
Actually, it does snow here, but it is very very rare; it snows maybe once or twice every 10 years.
And when it does, it totally F***s everything up. So many damn Texas can't drive worth a damn even in rain, and sleet on the road = a whole lot of wrecks.
I remember seeing a cop sliding on the ice and rear ending another car that was stopped at a red light. He pushed that car into the intersection! Well, at least the guy he hit didn;t have to call the police to file an accident report!

Man I live at almost 8000' of elevation in the mountains and we haven't gotten crap for snow yet. Sunny and blue skies today, but a little chilly in the 40s. I'm sure our day is coming though! Thankfully I've got a 2010 4x4 Xterra with some meaty tires on it for when things get bad... don't really have a choice when you live in a place like I do.

I bought my Mustang January of this year, just in time for it to meet the blizzards that the North East got raped with. Took 2 extra weeks just to get it to the inspection station because it was snowed in, then another 10 days to get it back because it got snowed in at the station.
I was amazed at how poor the traction was even in very minimal snow. My previous car (98 v6) was my main car and took me through 4 winters, but I wouldn't even consider taking my 06 out in the white stuff becuase I know it can't grab traction at all
