I am fortunate that the wife decided to get a 4x4 last year
I drove my 1.9 Zed in the snow many years back and that was not much fun
All rear wheel drives are a nightmare
So driving the ///M would be even worse, I have been driving a very long time and feel quite competent,
I remember once there was bloke in a car with his door open and his foot out, what use that would have been amazes me,
fortunately down in the south snow is infrequent, albeit when it comes it normally the worst in the country
I think the snow soxs seem a good idea to get your out of trouble
