:iagree:
I can only drive in the evenings right now with no A/C. When I was banished to North Dakota for a while, I drove my C4 a couple of times in the winter. Scariest thing I ever did. Not cool when sitting at an intersection at idle and the back tires are spinning on ice while the front tires remain stopped.

i live in winnipeg............you would have to be severly retarded to drive in winter
temps of -10F to -40F
5 feet of snow
my car would act as a sliding snow plow and I would be in the morgue

I guess this question is for US guys only :lol:
Up here, one would have to be nuts to even think about it. :lol:
All that salt on the roads, you would have to get a new frame every 5 yrs.

Once and only once! It was in mid December and I had just bought it and was on my way to pick it up an hour and a half away. As luck would have it, it turned out to be the day that we got our first major dumping of snow that year. The wide tires got up on top of the snow and scared the livin bejesus out me when I started fish tailin. Heavy traffic on the left and a deep ditch on the right. All I could think of is "I've owned this thing for 10 minutes and I'm about to wrap it around a freakin telephone pole!" I made it home in one piece and it tool about ah hour to wipe the silly grin off my face.

Just once, 8 hours on a slushy slippery highway in April.
I managed to keep it on the road, despite the blad tires.
