Why not have a winter beater and stop endangering yourself and everyone else on the road? They're out there; I got a 2004 Grand Cherokee for $1500.

Here's why I don't drive lightweight RWD cars in the winter if I have an alternative. It's just common sense. The first one is me last year, the 2nd is my wife 2 weeks ago.
I have wifey's 2014 Rogue to my disposal since she works from home. Clearly if we get a blizzard I will choose the Rogue but my point here is that I bought the Z as my daily driver and will drive it during the Winter because I control the vehicle not just aim it as most people do. I don't text, drink or eat in the car I drive because is not the car that causes accidents but most times is driver error. I went to both tractor trailer school and Top Gun driving classes back in the day (not sure if even exists now) so I'm confident not cocky that I can maneuver the vehicle under most driving conditions and well I'm going off topic but thank's for the advise
