It's WAY more fun in a truck with 4WD! I would never want to do it in a sports car with summer tires, anything more than a 0.5deg incline would result in you getting stuck haha.
Agreed. As much fun as it is to play in with my truck or a quad, it means no Corvette for 6-7 months out of the year. Well actually, the snow doesn't bother me as much as the ******* gallons of salt they dump on the road!

i drove my first car (99 v6 firebird) the first winter when I could drive and it sucked. It's so much nicer having a truck to get around. Now i park my T/A and get my snowmobile out for the winter fun

My snow toy>>>STI when there's more than a few inches on the ground.
Makes around 230@ the wheels and weighs about 3900lbs. 5-speed manual with an auto locker in the rear makes for a winter beater I'm never getting rid of!

Mine don't either really. I got away with it because it was fresh snow that was already paved and hadn't iced completely over yet. Once the ice forms I will get stuck coming out of the driveway at my house. It's happened twice already, my method when that happens is to basically to spin the tires until eventually burns through lol.

I got caught in a lil snow last night somehow i did alright even though im on summer tires i think it was the fact they are pretty much brand new and my car was packed full of luggage which added alot of weight to the rear but i was able to drive straight up a decent sized snow covered hill which surprised me since usually any incline in the snow results in an fbody getting stuck
