Actually with a NICE set of 4 studded tires on her, the SVT has been one of the best cars we've owned for bad road traction, hands down. Most FWD cars are one of the best vehicles besides the obvious AWD's. I've seen more 4X4 SUV's & Trucks flipped over, in the ditch, on their side, and crashed on the roads up here in AK than anything else!! I own a 4X4 truck and when it's in 4WD is fine. But when it comes to stopping, I don't care IF you have a dually, once you start sliding it's ALL OVER. Your along for the ride. The SUV's and trucks being higher off the ground go farther into the ditch and off the road and tend to end up worse off than anything else. Sure if the snow is 6" deep the Contour isn't my best choice, but for day to day winter driving it ROCKS!!:laugh:

Yup people think cause they have awd or 4fw they can do whatever, awd and 4wd has nothing to do with trying to stop on a sheet of ice.

Leaving tomorrow and hope to get back up soon (maybe Spring). My bro-in-law is a youth pastor here and they are getting ready to move to Homer so we are helping them pack, a little bit of a working vacation...
