There's only about 9 days a year that you even need to worry about driving in snow in Ft. Collins. Those are my sick days.

I was wondering the same thing, mine wouldn't run if it was colder than 50F.

The only problem I ever had in two years of Minnesota driving was the snowplow effect 82transam talked about. Then again, the first car I ever drove in snow was a Super Beetle, and I learned a lot from that. Emergency brakes make for a lot of fun cornering.
