In the '62 Saab 96 I used to have, I could make car-shaped troughs in the snow which was several to many inches deeper than the ground clearance of the car. The ridges in the floorpan, the exhaust system, and the wheel tracks behind the car were impressive. Got pulled over by a local cop one evening; I was practicing winter driving, kind of during a blizzard before the plow trucks came out and ruined my fun. He was, er, less than sympathetic to my technique of using a snow emergency to play, and suggested that I "practice my winter driving techniques" in some other township. Dave Hinz
