I had to go and run my mouth about this. The curvy uphill road I take home from work had a toyota broken down half-way up it, so I got stuck behind about a quarter mile of cars on the untreated hill.

Having spent most of my life in warm climates, I have no idea how to drive in inclement weather. Today I left the house only on foot. You're welcome.

Drove my 05 GTO through 3 winters and drove an 09 Pontiac G8 GT the past 2 winters.

Both RWD, no issues. A lot can be said for proper snow tires.

Those who don't know how to drive in winter weather conditions more than likely don't know how to drive in any conditions.

That's because cars were made of real steel in the 70s!

That license plate is hilarious! I doubt it will attract any mlfs though.

My only vehicle is a high powered rear wheel drive car and I get along fine here, and to really get your ire, its a convertible as well.

Hey, I made it home in my Mustang. Even easily plowed through the mountain of snow the snow plow left behind my car in the parking spot. This car is better than a Hummer!

Cars were terrible in the 70s.
