Its nice to have a 4 wheel drive in the stable for occasions like that, its even better if you don't care if some one runs into it. Folks around here haven't a clue how to drive in snow it's a real demolition derby when it does, the body shops rejoice !

Memories of life in snow country come flooding back, it can be a real bummer at times.

Glad I was no where near South Buffalo, Lancaster, W. Seneca, or Depew. 4 feet of snow is a lot of digging.

I didn't drive this one in the snow last week, but my old '07 with traction control and Goodyear triple-treads never got stuck in anything. Tires make the difference, I think.

So how does one find a white car in a snowbank anyway?

Good thing he hadn't installed a stubby then. He'd have to wait until spring to find his car.

Makes me glad I live in Northern Calif.. I'd go nuts in snow like that. Way too cold for me.
Oh bye the way...it's Dec. 7th and the temp outside today is 65, and no snow! "Moon"

I could not agree more! Like I said.. when it comes to winter driving (in snow country, that is) it's all about the tires. Put some good snows or all-weathers with an aggressive tread on an HHR and you've got a great snow machine.
