I hate snow
Never did I expect to hear those words out of my mouth. But 36 hours ago it began and in that time I have spent about ten hours digging my car out. I have been stuck four times in four inches of snow. The third time I broke my alt belt. I made it to my girlfriends street before it died-but not before I got it stuck again. So there it sits the new belt is on but the "wheels that grip" aren't spinning and if the shovel doesn't work I'm Going to use explosives. I love my car, but it is possessed and the priest is snowed in. Blowing it up just seems like the most satisfying option.
Who wants to watch hahahahahahahaa! Insanity is approaching and so is frostbite |

Sorry to hear about your troubles in the snow Crash. I guess 4 inches is just a bit too much for our ground-hugging sports cars.
On the bright side, I heard skiing/snowboarding is awesome with fresh powder. -Chike

I have pushed snow with the bumper and not got stuck. Maybe the tires are not the best. Good luck and Merry Christmas.

Get studs and use very light throttle pressure until then.

I still have the same all season. It was okay on 4" snow.
One time, the only time, I was stucked on 6-8" snow parking lot. I couldn't even open my door. I was naughty and almost got stucked on 6" snow parking lot another night. I stayed for awhile. The SVX engine's heat melted the snow and I was backward and forward a couple times and finally got out. I still have the same all season tires. They are still doing alright on snow. I know how much my SVX can handle.......I love driving on snow..

Get new winter tires. Even if they are $30 each they will be better than the best all-season tires.
Also if it prevents only one accident they are worth it. From experience extra caution is required driving a 5 spd SVX in the winter compared to an auto.

We got rain and 30-40degF temps past couple of days...
I'd take foot deep snow over spurious potholes any day.
