Randy, Donna and I were in Winnipeg over new year's and experienced the blizzard on Dec. 30. Did you drive your 115 in the snow or is it safely locked up for the winter? We drove a rented front wheel drive PT Cruiser rental car that handled quite well in the snow. I was impressed at how the city functioned normally and plowed the streets promptly despite 30 cm of snow, about triple the amount predicted.

Ah but some people just want to prove that they can do it. I know the feeling as I have fought with things like that and given up and bought new parts to get back on the road quickly. There is a sense of satisfaction at having conquered problems like that however, and if you do not have to have the vehicle immediately, there is usually a way to overcome.
