I agree with much of what you say in your epic driving rants, but a small car with winter tires is great in this kind of stuff. If someone's sitting on the side and spinning their RWD summer tires trying to move a couple of feet, that's not anyone's problem but their own.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem, and I'm not trying to start an argument. You're spot on about Porsche guy and SUV lady.
I'm pissed off about the dick in the jetta that was blasting up 34th ave this morning, who totally screwed the delivery truck that was trying to turn. He would have had the perfect chance to get on to 34th, but this little punk come flying up the road and eliminated that chance.
I'm more or less convinced that he was circumventing the traffic on 33rd ave. I hate people that shortcut through MY neighbourhood.

I know that winter tires get you going faster, and probably help you brake better. Still don't need to be zipping around residential areas like that.
