Hybrids...how are you getting around this winter?
Just curious how all the hybrids are getting around this winter (for those of us who live in crappy weather climates).
This is my hybrids first winter since the swap (my friends and I did April '01). I now have my 13" steelies with shiaty tires, but she seems to still be getting around pretty good. Must be that extra weight up front.

Yeah that extra weight up front is what threw me off the road into a ditch! Not used to this understeer.

Hey:
2002 Crew Cab 4*4 Ford F250 Powerstroke Turbo Diesel.
I bought it to tow around my Mustang, but mostly I just look at it and think 'Man, that thing is Huuuuuuge!"
You should have seen the looks on the faces of the salesmen when I would pull up in this beast and start asking about Civic hatchbacks!

I raised my car, put some 15's on it and feather the clutch. The minute I put a little extra weight on the gas pedal, the tires break loose. My roommate has a 01 limited edition 4runner, I just borrow hers.
