Re: "needing" pickups, SUVs, 4wd, and stuff: Hogwash. It is that mentality that gets us all this full-size V8 4x4 crap rolling around all over creation on a daily basis instead of equipment much more suited to the task at hand. I too drive a lowered fwd compact through the winter and I live in one of the severest winter areas in the lower 48- Northern MN. Where I live the snow arguement is practically moot, as at the sign of the first flake a fleet of plow trucks with salt spreaders springs into action with blinding speed. And even if you do encounter some snow or some potholes you just need to be a little smart about it instead of plowing through everything like a mindless drone.
