LOL, 2wd in the snow is a fun ride, but can be nerve racking in some instances. LOL

Nah. Not what I would want to daily drive in the winter though. I probably burned 5 gallons worth of fuel with just my tires spinning

I figure it's just good practice for when I finally get it boosted and I loose all traction on dry pavement

And yea I got sideways a few times at 60MPH when I didn't intended for it LOL

I drive mine in the snow, even with winter tires I have to use 4x4 80% of the time, I find that a 3200stall+rwd+turbo+snow/icy road=interesting especially if I'm starting on a slight incline, and usually the other vehicles around me don't appreciate it lol

Mine covered in salt, I feel bad but my truck is my daily driver so that's how it goes.

I had some all seasons with crap tread....turbo rwd rcsb it was interesting at times haha, but did fine for the most part... Oh except when I blew the coolant line to the surge tank, when it was negative -5 out... Fun times. haha I hear the weather is peachy up there now though
