    Well my options are to drive an hour to sit in an empty office and be productive, or stay home and watch netflix while working. Plus if I stay home I'll only have to clear off the truck once...

    How many cars can you go through in a month? I say go for it. What's the worst that can happen?

    Just kidding! That's a pretty long drive during a snow storm.

    It did the "Plan B" part of its yob :laugh:
    Plan A is "stay on road" and if that doesn't work then it's supposed to resort to Plan B (don't murder the occupants)

    I'd rather just go in and be productive. Even before I had kids working from home was never that productive. Let alone with 2 giblets.

    Also when you have to bill hourly you can't just sit around watching Netflix, it burn through hours being not productive

    :facepalm:

    The 14's are a skinny little tire, is why I asked. Either 175's or 185's. Great snow cutters. Had a 2000 Coupe (in auto, boooo) and it was unstoppable as long as there wasn't enough snow to lift the body.

    I honestly haven't looked but they're tiny. I think it's a lawnmower with a cage

    Usually these little cars are too light. I used to pass them going uphill in my fwd caddy.

    Just gotta lug the motor a little and they'll go anywhere in any weather. The '96 that I had was a stick, and if you drove it a gear high it never had a problem with traction.

    They're good as long as they have a proportional sized tire. Now, manufacturers like to throw big, fat tires on their tiny little cars and they handle like shit in the snow and rain. If you keep a really skinny tire on them with good tread, they're great in the snow!

    Yeah, I always ran the Arctic Claw TXI's on them when I had Civics, because they were aggressive, soft, and cheap. Used 175/70R14's during the winter for the skinnier patch.
