I feel ya bro. Even with good tires and the traction control (helps a lot), it can still be unnerving driving in inclement weather. I am more worried about the idiots around me than I am about my own ability to drive in winter weather. Glad you got that girl home in one piece! Here are a few pics of mine after getting home in the ice we got here last Friday... Winter sucks!

Thanks Ryan, yeah these wheels I like, after looking at your car and bob car with Concavo make me want to switch to coils, but i like fat tires out back more than stretch tires look
