Based on the number of comments I got yesterday if you drive in any type of snow or ice without 4/AWD these days you'll
immediately be killed.
Granted I generally swap to my old Explorer when conditions are bad (for fear of some jacked up brodozer hitting me and being decapitated by his homebrew bumper...), but didn't think our insignificant little bout of winter weather warranted dragging it out, plus the BRZ is more fun (and I'm sure if I had a dedicated winter tire and not all seasons, more controllable as well - but the DWS06 is pretty impressive)
I pulled into the work lot amid gasps of shock that I was able to make it in and was told I'd be stranded here for sure as my car wouldn't make it up the hill. Trying to explain to people how to drive in winter weather is like trying to tell a brick wall how to sit down. They know they have AWD so stopping and starting= same as any other sunny dry day to them, and the reason why there were 30+ accidents related to the weather last night
