Without studs, I have easily passed Jeep Cherokees spinning half-way up snowy hills and with studs I cruise out of our steep driveway in Vermont when my husband's 4x4 is whining at the bottom. Although you can't neglect Saabs, at one point I parked my old, "for-parts" 900S outside behind the barn for 10 months after I got my new 900 turbo. Finally, one day I had to move the old car. Checked oil, got in, turned key, car started. But you have to take care of them. Kim L., Vermont
