Well if it’s any consolation when I left work on Monday night in the Montreal storm, I still had summer tires on it. I didn’t even know they still made SUMMER tires! I assumed it at least had 4 season tires. My appointment to have the winter tires put on was in 2 days. I made it about 20 feet and had to pull over. It refused to move! The nice man from CAA dropped it off at a Goodyear dealership. Those guys had to push it in the garage to put the winter tires on it because it wouldn’t budge!!

Moral of the story …. From now on, my puppy is going to have winter tires on it from October to June!!

No problem with the winter tires on however. Not only am I going to enjoy driving it in winter but I am also going to REALLY enjoy the look on people’s face when they see this car out in a Montreal winter!

I think my car would be sadder sitting in a garage for most of the year.

I hear ya. We had a hefty snow and ice last year shortly after I bought my car. I LITERALLY got depressed because I thought my RWD snow skills had completely left me, thinking, "Crap. Why did I buy this car?". Snow tires restored my happy.
