Default monte is a snow beast

I must say this car handles the snow very well. Mt abs and trac are broken but this car doesn't need them. 50mph no problems.

I don't have those problems, and I have snow tires. I would have to agree that this car is indeed surprisingly very handy in the snow.

Normally I don't drive the BudChev in the winter. But in 2010 I drove to Daytona for the 500 and 2010 had a pretty crazy winter storm in the USA - heavy snow all the way the North Carolina before it let up. It took days for us to get to Daytona, and for days there were so many cars in ditches that every car in a ditch could see some other car in a ditch, who could see another... countless ditched cars. Hundreds. Maybe over a thousand on that trip. The BudChev seemed pretty steady and I remember being more annoyed with other drivers than the weather conditions.

Still, I'll take my Bronco over the Monte Carlo in the snow anyday!

My cars both handle extremely well in the snow, with the exception of hitting the rather large snow drifts, but I don't think too many vehicles can handle them without making a notice. One problem I found is that we bought new tires for the wifes monte in August/September and put them on the front, but they wouldn't get traction to save their lives once the snow hit, so went and bought a used pair of snow tires and the difference was night and day, she now goes through snow like it's almost not there, and made me feel a little better when the wife is out driving
