I have an AWD TB SS. And I love it to death.

But really if we get another huge Chicago snow then the only hope is AWD. Otherwise its just like all the other RWD vehicles.

They don't get around as well as the AWD's do, but it can be done.

Helps a ton if you bolt on a set of 17" TrailBlazer wheels with suitable tires (looks goofy, though).

i love my tbss rwd, havent driven it in the snow and i think im going to keep it that way, but if i did i dont think it would be to bad. just dont drive like an a-hole, take it easy, the stabilatrack system works great which should help it alot, at least it works great in the rain. you wont be dissapointed if you buy one.

I know.. I was just being a smartass..

Might I also add, they do AWD donuts very easy in the snow.. Which is quite fun..
