Just posting this to say that there are other things to worry about in the snow than accidents.
I agree. If I bought my wife a 2wd mini truck for the winter I'd be living in the garage the first time it snowed! U better get a couple hundred pounds of sandbags, winter tires and chains. JMO. Don't dink around, keep looking for a Subie or U will pay.
