The car actually rides along until enough snow gets under it and gets stuck, the skinny tires lose contact with the ground, front stock fairing peice acts like a little snow plow, the car is just to low & light. I think the car's riding on P 185 65 13's, which is what the factory calls for.

nope

No they don't make a mustang with awd. So far driving rear wheel drive isn't that bad when it snows or is wet out. The traction control on mine helps a lot. I really hate it thought that guys automatically assume that a girl posted something when the info is wrong. Not all women are completly clueless when it comes to cars.

I SECOND ALL OF THAT!!! ESPECIALLY THE LAST PART!! Thank you!

I dont have traction control or ABS. If you are really really worried about snow get a stang with ABS and traction control and get an automatic. Dont get me wrong I wouldnt trade my manual for the world... but it is easier with an automatic in the snow.

What about a Jeep?
I went to Barrett-Jackson Saturday, and Chrysler had a display. I sat in the new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited(the longer one) and it's REALLY nice. I've always been a car person, but if I was looking for a all around fun vehicle, I'd go for one of those.
