I hate it bad. bad. bad.

It also "eats" your car, or at least the salt does.

Oh yea....3am, -4 degrees out, white-out drifting snow, and digging your stuck SC out of a ditch off Annie Glidden or Peace Rd....cause its easier to "tail-out" the car than turn.

Wonder what an IDOT plow truck would do to a ditched SC at 45mph.
(I shudder at the thought.)

SC owners should only drive their cars in the snow for these reasons...
1. The woman calls, she's naked and wants to play beer pong....Drive the SC
2. Her friends are going to stop by with drinks and play too....Drive the SC
3. Someone is trying to kill you....Call police, then Drive the SC
4. Your friend calls and wants you to take him to Gamestop cause some neat-O RPG game comes out at midnight that night....He's not your friend, hit him over the head, put him in trunk of SC (might have to fold in half) Drive to nearest farm field. Dispose. Tell yourself "Its for the best".

I'm messing around tonight...Everyone who b*tc*es about the snow..Myself included. Either...

1 Move closer to the equator.
2 Trade in on winter friendly vehicle
3 By junker to drive in winter
4 Shut up, and drive it. (Yea it sucks, but your still cooler looking than the **** in the 95' Mustang 5spd going sideways every three feet.)

SC's and snow are not a great combo! Yes it snows in KS and my SC stays home in the garage. Snow is what the Tercel and Rav4 are for. Having a DD is the best solution. I gave $500 for a 93 Tercel and have put over 40,000 miles on it. Its ugly and slow, but it's great on gas and plows thru the snow. The Rav4 is good to. My 2 cents.

Cause you don't have much time with the Ice caps melting. I don't need to tell you about the Tampa Metro area and ground vs sea level. What are you all three, four feet above sea level. Gonna be like the movie Waterworld down there soon.

We dont have much for snow in DFW, but the day after I bought my SC we had a bit of an icestorm. That was a good welcome back to rwd for me.

I hate snow. I drove my SC out of my garage to work on my beater and I got stuck in my plowed driveway. I guess 295's and ultra dry summer tires don't exactly like even a bit of snow. =(

I drive my beater 95 Cutlass while the SCs stay in a heated garage and the 240s stay in a heated storage unit.
