I love winter. And Edmonton streets are why I drive an F-150 with winter tires.

I backed into my parking spot at work - the lot being remarkabally empty - and kept creeping up till my back wheels touched the concrete barricade . . .but ended up fully in the alley. hehehe. THe snow is packed there fully 24" and covering the barricade. I don't know how anyone drives a car. I don't know how I used to get by driving a car!


My Jetta (equipped with winter tires) does fine in this weather, but everyone else with trucks/SUVs usually cause deep ruts (because of the weight and tire size of the vehicle) that make it a lot more difficult for me to travel on unplowed roads. I have to admit it would be nice to have another inch or two of clearance under the car's chassis.

Still, I haven't gotten stuck yet. * knocks on wood *


Ask ur dealer, they may have something.

When I ordered my Octavia, I got whtas called a 'bad road kit'

longer stiffer shocks, and a plate under the engine bay to keep stuff out.

My car sits an inch higher than others.

Only time I've had issues is when I forgot to take off the park break. Car don't go so well when you're trying to drag your rear wheels. :P
Oh shit, you have done that too! I was the laughing stock of the small northern town I lived in for 30 years because two big guys helped get me out of a drift on the ice road. One come forward to the cab and said "take the f@$%#in parking break off" if you want help. :oops:

By the way, winter tires are great, but studded winter tires are fantastic.
