Do us a favor and don't drive it when there is ice and snow.


Actually, they do pretty well in the ice and snow. Like the bug, the
floor of those things is like a sled, and with the independant reas
suspenion, the wheels still dig deep in the snow with the body sliding
along in the surface.

Front wheels act like a rudder. I've seen those things go through some
deplorable conditions.

But one draw back, is the heaters don't work worth a hoot.
