Yup, now that im in school in Boston I need a car to commute to school, so Im gonna go back home and drive my '98 SVT cross-country. In January no less, and since my car has never been out of the sunny state of California I was hoping that you fellow New Englanders could give me a few pointers on how to "winterize" my contour for these wicked cold winters out here. And if any of you have ever done this 3000 mile drive before I would love any advice anyone could give me.
I was thinking about winter tires, but since I have all-terains on there now would it be worth it to buy new wheels and tires? Also, I read the manual and it says not to put chains on the front tires when driving through the mountains, e.x. the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains. Is this a common practice among you guys?
Hook me up with some info.

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet. When toast is dropped, it always lands butter-side-down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the cat's feet, butter facing up. The two will hover, spinning, inches above the ground. With a giant buttered-toast/cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
