I spent my first winter with a car in Rochester NY with a 69 Camaro conv. It actually wasn't bad at all. They know how to plow in upstate NY. I never came close to getting stuck. I just spent 6-1/2 hours Saturday converting the 4Runner from auto locking hubs over to manual hubs which are much better. You can shift into 4 wheel drive on the fly at 50 mph if you want with the manual hubs as long as you lock them ahead of time. With the auto hubs, you have to come to a complete stop before putting it into 4 wd. Now that I sold the SS454 pickup and have 4wd, we won't get much snow this winter.
