Oh another thing, studless snow tires are highly recommended like these on tirerack.com
Last year I drove my Cougar here after spring break and so far nothing bad has happened to it. My family always used to put studded tires on our van over the winter, but we don't even do that anymore. Haven't had any problems with the all-seasons.Over the summer I had some new Hankook Ventus tires put on and I'll just be using those through the winter.

Nothing puts a smile on my face than to see an automobile with snow in the surroundings and an extension cord attached to the front end indicating a heater.

God Bless Texas and the 70 degree weather we have now!

LOL
There was a 1960s or 70s Mercedes for sale this summer that was absolutely gorgeous. Locally owned too.
