Last time this weekend the car drives in snow I think. Drove through some snow and there must have been a huge ice chunk sitting in it and I cringed when I could feel it roll under the car. It was horrible. No. More.

The V70 managed to get a bit of snow on it before I parked it for winter. Got stuck in a snowstorm on the highway with my summers on. That wasn't fun:
