Ding-ding-ding! We have a winner!

I've been stuck in half an inch of snow. On a flat side street. Stock 285 Potenza RE11's. With summer tires don't even bother. With skinny winter rims and Blizzak's you might get away with it every now and again... but why risk it? I know the main reason I shelled out for a dedicated sports car was so I could coat it with salt and calcium every winter and tempt some jackass in a speeding SUV with bald tires to slide into it.
