Best Cars For Driving In Ice & Snow [VIDEO]

Rudy Fernandez — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 06:52:15 +0000

Now that the bad winter weather is upon us, I'll have to admit that I'm a little scared to say the least. With a real cold front on the horizon and icy conditions being threatened, I am having issues with not having the right vehicle. During the last bad ice and snow storm I got stuck, twice. Thanks to Joyce O'Bar and their wrecker service I was rescued. It's been well over a year and I still don't have what my family and I need to get around town on bad weather days. While the rest of the world can take a couple days off, I must still go to the station and keep everyone updated on the 'bad weather.' Now I'm still in the market for a vehicle that can pass the grade, if there is one.
