Unfortunately the AM has no AWD, so it's useless in any area that gets
snow.


Do you really need AWD in areas that get snow? We get 150-250 inches per
year and front wheel drive or LSD (limited slip differentials) has worked
great for the last 25 years.

Carmel gets 40 inches a year, a "blizzard" there is 22 inches. Call in the
Unimogs!

Do you consider that serious snow?

Ever have to use 4 wheel chains and caterpillar weights because the truck
couldn't push through snow deeper than the windows?

You've lived there about a year, the only time in your life outside of NYC
so now you're an expert.

The thing useless in snow is your driving ability and experience.
