A C4 with snow tires (and weather to match) has always been a fantasy of mine. I know, "Get a life Tim!"

Kinda like M&Ms though, it's hard to stop once you start!

I planted my money tree out back and I am fertilizing the hell out of it!

Beer helps the fertilizing process.

Contrary to what the locals may say, whizzing on that tree will not help.

Nothing like plowing through a blizzard that has immobilized most cars in a sports car to put a smile on your face. Get a C4.

Please keep a camera in the car and take pics the first time you're in the white stuff. Feed the fantasy!

It is a fantastic feeling to go around a mammoth suv that is stuck due to poor all-seasons in the p-car. Some day I am going to stop with a tow strap. Wonder how that will go over

2 winters ago I drove past a school bus that was stuck... all the kids cheered!

Thad, do you use a winter wiper blade or just freshen the rubber insert?

I have a C4, but two problems for me... first, it only snows about once every year or so and second, it stays in the garage if the weather is the least bit iffy.

I bet it'd be a blast in the snow though.
