How does your car do in the snow? I reeeealllly want one (or a mustang), but am afraid of the RWD on the snow.

It drives like sh!t in the snow, if the roads are plowed it does ok with some sandbags in the trunk, but if its fresh snow it might as well be an ice rink. I suggest a set of snow tires and some sand bags.

I usually just drive one of my husband's trucks during the winter when it snows.

That's what I was afraid of. Dang.

I think snow tires make a big difference though, I just didn't think it was necessary to get them since I have something else I can drive if I need it.

So, this brings up a question for me. With baby on the way, will you be getting rid of that sweet ride or keeping it? Yes, I have some serious car envy, but would never dream of trading my SUV with a kid.

I've been waiting for the day Alissa is big enough for a booster so I can get a sweet ride!

I'm trading it in, I had fun while I could and I miss 4wd. That doesn't mean I'm not getting a fun 4wd vehicle though.... C'mon Jamie, you know me better than that!

J-the booster seat is still a pain, just two door cars in general are a pain, and the back seat is really only for looks, its super tiny and uncomfortable even for kids, IMO.

I test drove a mustang when I bought the gp back in 08 and back then, I couldn't get the carseat back there at all. I'm sort of thinking I might still have that issue, and if not that, then leg room for her at the very least. I was car shopping w/ a friend this weekend, and I saw a blue-green one for $17k (camaro) and it looked like the back is all bucket-seat like the mustang. Boogers. And of course Pontiac had to go out of business! I want a G8 GT!

Yes they are bucket seats. I'm upgrading to a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 (faster than my camaro!) or a 4 door wrangler built by my hubby. We will see.....

Are those the ones that lift up and down?

scpteam20

Not sure.
