Default Re: Do you drive your A in the snow or stormy weather?

I had been in wa state (greater seattle area) 3 0r 4 years when we had a much deeper than average snow storm. 16" behind garage door. I really needed to go to store. there was no chance my newer 2 wd pickup was getting out. there is a sizable rise out of driveway to road. sometime before that I had bought a bunch of "A" stuff. in it was a couple 19' wheels with old snowmobile tires mounted. these were made by a co in Wisconsin, arp I think. these had a heavy crossways lug about every 4 ', to fit between the pads on tracks to prevent spinning. I looked at these, and my 31 roadster and gave a resounding "hmmm". so I mounted these wheels on car, and opened garage door. that car dug two trenches out of shop, with snow and dirt flying. it clawed its way up the driveway and onto road. down the road at 30 mph, with people looking at an old roadster out at nite in a snowstorm. I got to the store and back without incident, and sold the tires for $100 a piece
