I will say, it was strangely satisfying driving my old miata in the snow. Best was going up a hill, getting stopped at a red light, and then having to drive AROUND the AWD rav4 in front of me and then around 3 other FWD commuter boxes. I remember glancing over at the RAV4 as I passed, he sat there spinning his tires with his eyes as wide as saucers staring at the little miata that was driving around him without much fuss. Snow tires make all the difference.
