Need second car
Ok I already have the 2008 corvette and need something for the New Jersey winter. The budget is around 20k and I have my eyes on a 2009 VW CC 4motion with 3.6l engine 27K miles for $20k. Any opinions!!!

I drive my vette all year round but if I need a daily driver I'd head over to swap a lease for an inexpensive short term ride. No money out of pocket

same here...find a 5-6 y/o Jeep G-C w/4WD nicely equipped, in good condition--less than $20K.
get the V-8 engine; the 3.7L V-6 is underpowered for the 4,000 lb vehicle, and the city gas mileage
diff. is only 2 mpg.

I'm rolling through Michigan winters in my daily 09' front drive Pontiac GXP, and decided on going with a Blizzak winter tire package from the Tire Rack. You wouldn't believe the difference these tires make for snow traction, and stopping too. Did this for my 96' Z-28 Camaro, which was usually horrible in the winter snow, but was unstoppable with the Blizzaks. Even drove it for Northern ski trips, and never got stuck.
