I still have the '05 Wrangler, but I also (sadly) have a '02 Saturn SL that I am trying to sell on the For Sale forum. I hate winter!

Thing is, I just washed both of my cars in a t-shirt. I can actually agree with the above statement. Unfortunately.

Well, normally I drive my 951 most of the winter, but with 4 feet of snow at my house in the last 8 days, I sure am glad I have a Toyota 4Runner. It's a '94 with 155k miles.

My current winter rig is an '05 Silverado which is my daily driver/company vehicle. On the trailer is my old daily driver but now relegated to being my adventure rig only. It's a '92 Land Cruiser setup for long overland trips.

Yep, and before you ask, it is actually functional. I've had it up to the hood in water. Not recomended if you don't have to do it, especially in a petrol engined rig.
