The worst winter driving vehicle has got to be a C6 Corvette: Primarily because you have no more than 3 inches of ground clearance in the front, which makes it a powerful yet highly ineffective snow plow.

I think your point about over confidence is correct in that inexperienced drivers do tend to way over estimate the advantages of 4WD / AWD on the highway in slippery or low visibility conditions.

Nice paint and nice wheels do not make it a nice car. ND.

Lordy, you thought it was a good idea to do a full throttle launch about one foot from the curb in a $343,000 Bentley? Good thing the traction management was doing it’s job.

Besides MnDOT being world class at clearing roads, the ultimate kinda secret Minnesota winter driving hack is the MN 511 driver’s app.

Brooms and scrapers are fine most of the time. And yet, sometimes you really do have to shovel off your car, at least where I live (32 inches of snow so far this season).

Snow covered car veteran here. Cardboard does sound like a great hack in a pinch.

I never said I lived in Fargo. It was an example.

From the perspective of someone living in Fargo, you are correct.

Exactly. It causes unnecessary short term supply chain hiccups and long lines for absolutely no reason.

For you to state its “useful for the large cities and major power plants” just tells me you don’t live anywhere near the parts of the U.S. where big winter storms are a common occurrence. Winter storm names are just not a thing here.

Yes.

Sure, that would make sense if logistics is your business to be very tuned in to the weather.

Exactly. Reporting the weather has devolved into Kardashian level clickbait sillyness 

I can see you read the Weather Channel marketing department’s explanation for them naming winter storms.

Neither the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) nor the National Weather Service, has ever named winter storms and don’t plan to any time soon.

Lordy, that looks nasty. There isn’t anything quite like a blizzard in the northern plains where there’s nothing to block the wind for hundreds of miles.

In your case, with a 1.4% APR, sure, it absolutely makes sense to stay in such a low interest loan if you’re getting 4%+ on your money.

Same here. What’s interesting is how much of Musk’s persona and rambling thoughts are getting rapt attention and endless analysis across all media.

So, you're a Tesla short. I get it.
