ANyone drive their 240 in snow?

OK...I am stuck here. I have a line on a 98 240SX with a redtop swap but I live in Michigan....is this car going to be impossible to drive in snow or not? It is between this car and a well built Impreza RS2.5 http://www.nissanclub.com/impreza/ now usually I cannot afford anything I want....now I can and can't up my mind. If I get the 240 it will end up with the Vertex kit off the orange car in the style forum...that car just makes me drool....and my bro is a painter for PPG paints so we will do a color change on the car...anyway back to snow......anyone have input? the car has crap steelies on it right now with stocker tires....(good rims will be next spring....)

oh, gotcha. my condolences. *cough*dsl rocks!*cough* j/k at the bottom of that thread, Amoloa suggested the BF Goodrich TA studded. i wouldn't know. i'm in NC (where it doesn't snow much) and i have a FWD as a daily driver. maybe someone else has suggestions? or maybe post a thread in the tires/wheels/suspension section...

or.... just go DSL. it may cost a little more, but ur bandwith is guaranteed not to be shared w/ur neighbors. no matter what time of day i'm on, the connection is rockin! then again, i guess it depends on where u live, too. i know where i'm at (out in the boondocks), very few people have cable modems, so them joints be blazin. i'd say, either way, see if u can talk to some folks who use different isp's and find out who's got the best service. or maybe see if there r reviews published somewhere about isp's in ur area...
