Default Winter rides?

Screw those lucky SOBs down south that get to drive their nice cars year round! Up here in new england we all know the pain of the "winter car" so whats everyone driving for the crappy months?.. I've got a lime green 94 geo tracker (at least its a manual and rear wheel drive!)

Well at least we dont have to deal with wildfires and sunburns ...sigh...

'97 Yukon, w/158k on the clock. Had it since new, been beaten ever since. Intake manifold gasket went last week which was a bad sign. Stepped up and bought the factory GM gaskets, and a tube of GMS.

Things running pisser right now, timed her at 13* It actually got sideways coming around a corner the other day, I was all excited.
