Had a great drive to work today. The 993 is more "fun" in the snow at 20mph than other cars are at twice that speed. It's a hoot initiating a turn with a touch of steering and then straightening the wheel and doing all the rest with the right foot. The cars behind stay way back.

I will always own a AWD or 4WD purely for the fact of snow. I have 2 SUV's and a C4 as their back up! :-)

I'm not so much worried about David's driving as I would be about the tons of idiots in this area that have no clue how to drive in the snow and even have problems driving in the rain
