I was haulin *** in the snow with studded tires on the back, I was wanting to dragrace people from stop lights the traction felt so good. However... it was the stopping and the cornering that was terrible. Steep hills are a killer too. Basically it can be done if you don't drive like an idiot and if you cut out unnecessary trips.

Driving in the snow is like every other car, as long as you don't OVER drive the damn thing you will be fine. I have driven my Mustang in 4 winters and I have been fine. Drive SMART. I am not saying these cars are in any way GOOD for the snow, but if you need to get some where, they will get you there. Oh, and tires will make a difference. Since my Mustang is my beater, I was forced to learn HOW to drive this car in the snow. Good luck and drive like your grandmother...

Beefy skinny snow tires, and 4 50lb bags of sand. And take it easy on her. Maybe even do 2nd gear take offs. Good luck, and drive safe. I maybe be stuck driving mine too, which i'd prolly rather walk, or steal a car.
