I once got caught in Frankenmuth with a 500 hp mustang in the middle of a snowstorm and had to drive down to Novi going about 35 mph the whole time. NOT a fun experience.

I would have too but it was a work car and its a policy to have it garage kept and I would have probably been fired if I left it outside in a snow strom.

My worst trip was in my 98 chevy 1 ton dually with a 454.. it was 2wd and i was going up 23 to visit my mom.. 23 was two tracks the entire way.. the best part was that the tracks were narrower then the duals so i spent the entire trip with the back end of my truck going back and forth trying to fit a set of tires in the track.. it sucked. I got of 23 in fenton and snow had packed itself from the front of the rear fender to the door.

Not worried so much about the snow but the sleet/freezing rain is what I don't like. Everyone drive safely tomorrow.
