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...
