yeah, i took my wifes car with just front studs on a trip from dundee to beaverton last time we had snow and ice. between the idiots and stoplights, it was a "fun" ride...aveo w/ auto trans, no abs, no traction control, and poor rear tires...not to mention i had only driven the car a couple times.

that lovely sliding sensation from the ass end at every stop and corner...it was like a pregnant hippo on ice.

yeah, stick with 4 studs...you will be happy later.

Yeah; I'll probably just stick with one snow-worthy car instead of two half-snow-worthy vehicles.
