I think Scot would have been the person to talk to about missing the Duratec, but apparently Kore has her arms wrapped tightly around him.

Being serious though, we havent had a 'bad' winter here in a long time. Last winter I was commuting on all-seasons and did just fine. Plan on doing the same thing this winter too but I now only have a five mile commute.
If your wanting something not as powerful, I will gladly trade you cars (but not payments, $79/mo is nice).
