Here is my winter beater. It's an 02 Dodge Durango with an AAR Cuda hood. I stomp through everything with this including some fields when I do some small game hunting. I have never got stuck yet.

I'll continue to use what I drive every day, a 2004 Chevy Aveo. Tried it out in the snow yesterday - did great for a very lightweight car.

We get a lot more rain than snow in the winter, but it'll be Vette on nice days, '01 Mazda B3000 on bad days. It's high enough I could almost drive the Vette under it.

Actually, I just bought a beater!
1994 Ford Ranger 4x4. It's ugly but runs great. I hope I don't need it too often because I hate snow!
I also have the "family" car.......a 2003 Impala.
