I was planning on driving my Bird year round but then got stuck in one small snow storm and the car coulden't make it up a hill in 1 1/2 inches of snow. So I put my winter rims/tires on and it still slid around alot so I relized what I had to do....buy a beater. Honestly one of the best car decisions I have made.
