I've never paid more than 6500 for a car. It's easier to spin around with
the FWDs in reverse, but you can do some sliding by backing off the gas.
They sometimes open up Dow's lake in central Ottawa for motorists to
practice winter driving on, but I've never done it. I would imagine that
it's way too controlled. But, I would love to get the Midget out on the
ice. I started driving with rear wheel drive and country roads. My first
car was a Datsun 510 which was a lot of fun. Winter driving 'can' be a lot
of fun.

I used to think that way too but why would you keep the 5k car parked in
the snow and take the 30k car out in it?
Besides those modern plastic cars are just no fun on the ice :)
I do have to agree with winter weather.
It's time to think about putting the top up, or in my case, I just use
the A40, it's a hardtop.
