Finally got a winter car...
Not really the most impressive vehicle, but picked up a 2007 Suzuki XL-7 with 13k miles on it for a little over $9000 
not bad for a car that is $27k new 
Now I don't have to do this anymore, or worry about getting stuck in parking lots

Where you at in SLC? I lived in PC for 13 years and didnt dare take my s2k out during the winter months. Fortunately I had a GTI as well so I could just drive that around while the snow was falling.

Whats funny is that even though my rear-end would always be sliding all over the place (even with snow tires) I never got in a wreck, or even close to getting into one, but my roommate with a GTI got into one, my roommate with a A4 got into one, and my roommate with an Accord got into one... It snowed just about every day last winter. And now that I have an AWD vehicle, it hasn't snowed hardly at all

DD all year long - I love living in the South.
I'm actually from Charlotte... just out in Utah for work/school, so I know exactly what you are talking about... Can't wait to get back there.

I live in SLC, and I DD from downtown to Layton every morning. Never had an issue. Winter tires+TCS FTW!! Except right now, when some of the days are warmer and sunnier, I'm stuck with the squeamish things. Summer, come on!
