I live in Canada and cannot wait for snow. I have a 2004 C4S Cab and I bought a separate set of tires and rims for winter. Everytime it snows I try to be the first out on the unplowed streets. It is a total blast. These cars are indestructible, and should be enjoyed as such.
OK, maybe not indestructible. A month into my ownership, somebody rear ended me at a stoplight. $15K CDN damage. A few months ago, a client of mine backed into my front end with her X5. $14K of damage. Other than the nuisance of having to get the car repaired, the way I see it I got new front and back body armour as well as some new bits underneath.
I try to avoid dings, park in safe spots, etc. But I try to drive in, on the road and the track, the way it was designed to be driven. When people ask me if I am crazy to drive in the winter, I tell them my C4S is a tank; the world's fastest snowmobile.
I have a Nissan X Trail that I drive only if the snow is so deep that my C4S would be beached. Or if I have to cart seven boxes of diapers home from the store.
Just...love...this...car.
