What makes this car so bad in a little snow? Obviously driving around all winter in Maine, with feet of snow piling up around you and gallons of salt destroying your undercarriage, it's not the ideal situation, but a tiny bit of snow can't be as bad a little rain, can it?
Oh, man! This reminds me of the time I was down in Savannah at my parent's place. Savanahh got hit with two inches of snow for like the first time in 100 yrs...it was chaos. It looked like a scene out of Mad Max lmao.......................

PS - your old beetle does well in snow cuz the engine is over the drive wheels, dig? And don't forget de skinny tires!
