drive carefully, turn slowly and have good tires...high pressure wash the wheel wells and underneath the car in the rear and front often to get the salt off.

I put snow tires on my "85 and It was the best car I have ever driven in the snow. I used my head tho.

Like bizarro said be carefull.

I would also recomend having your car under coated as well.

7s tend to go to hell on the under carrage when driven in the winter

Don't forget to ALWAYS let it warm up before you go anywhere in the snow.
