That car is doing what it was born to do. Love it.

Drove mine in high school in Big bear Lake, Ca. '63-'68 through the winter snows, my only transportation. Even had a complete set of 6 strap on chains. We felt invincible when we were young! The body doesn't like the cold now.

the best way to get some one to watch some thing is to tell them not to LOL

I don't think twice about taking mine out in the snow. I do have snow chains which certainly helps if it gets deep.

Some of my friends laugh, but I think that it is actually pretty good in the snow, but you do need to make darn sure that your brakes are well balanced.

I'll just say this - clean snow is one thing, corrosive road treatment is another.

I drove my A through one NE Pennsylvania winter. Never again. Car did fine; but the effects of PennDOT's "Car-B-Gone" road treatments were too much for me.

He's young; he'll learn perhaps. I grew-up in MD; they fling just as much salt as PA.
