The only pictures you guys'll see of my car and snow.. is when it's sitting in the driveway. Moving my car on snow would be like 800HP on a 10 bolt. Just doesn't work.
I have a car tent.. but wont the snow just pile on the top and then buckle the whole tent in? Or would it slide off?

Pretty weak... I know, but anything more than a dusting and you can't get the car to move... at all!
I daily drove this car on 17's for a long time when it was fairly stock and I remember feeling like I worked a 16 hour day after driving home in the snow. I used to put it in first gear and get out after it sat there with the tires spinning and throw sand under the back tire and jump back in.
Now it is very safe, kinda like a paperweight?

Winter tires and traction control are the key!
I have no trouble driving my Formula in the snow, ice, slush, etc. Heck, I've even gone onto messy roads on purpose to goof around (with traction control off for the fun and on for the drive home).

And that is a ton of money to spend on a cover.. I know the good ones are worth the money, but even the good ones don't reach that high...
