Default WINTER BLOWS!!!

lol wow my first snow fall with the 5.0 and i have to drive it for now cuz it's the only car i have and for a first snow fall this was horrible....yesterday was nice and warm no the roads melted the ice first. Everywhere i went today had slick roads... so many accidents and the 5.0 in this weather is horrible... i have to go like 20-40km tops so my tires don't spin out and lose control. Just thought i'd let everyone know of my horrible winter icy weather lol
