Yep!!! LOL! I work with my roomate so if it gets too bad out I can just ride with him. Its better than driving the WS6 in the snow.
Picked it up for 4k. Unfortunatly this means my WS6 wont be going into speedinc this fri. Im kinda bummed about that but My current DD is done for. I have no choice but to get something else right now.

LOL!
Ive driven RWD cars for years in the snow. Actually this is the first year I havent in about 10yrs. Like I said this is a deal I couldnt pass up, and Im only doing it to get more money for a truck b4 the shootout. Trust me its much better than driving the bird!
If you saw my Cavalier you would do it too.!!!!
