i bought snow tires this year after sliding off the road and getting stuck twice last year
That's when you need to drive that truck! It doesn't matter if you go off road then, you just bounce right back up onto the road :-). hahah
but the truck is 2wd 
the only thing worse than a miata in the snow is a 2wd truck with an empty bed!
Supra does about as well in the snow as the truck does. The trucks tires and gearing give it the edge though. Brand new Michelin LTX on the truck > 20k mile Kuhmo 712s on the supra. I've driven both for entire winters though and never really had a problem.

Some dummy in a Mustang stopped on an icey hill this morning causing everybody to stop behind him. He got stuck, then several of the folks behind him got stuck, too, including me. I had to back up, turn on to a side street, and build up some momentum to get up it. It doesn't help that the Accord is practically unalignable... maybe I'll get snow tires this year.... if this keeps up...
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

That'd be funny if you paid more for tires than your car is worth

Ah, ok. Don't take my advise then ;-). *Will not be responsible for Evan "bouncing" his truck around from this point forward.*

Yes! What a cool feature! You should modify the light cover to say something like "drifto!"

My neighborhood was shit this morning but in a good way. All it took was a mash of the gas and you were opposite lock d0rift0! I hit up a parking lot on my way to work this morning, that was extremely entertaining.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

snow tires are the fuckin' SHIT!
We have got slightly under four inches out here in Omaha. Yeah, the front end of the STi is a plow but that hasn't stopped me from fucking around with all the differential settings available. 50/50 lock in an open parking lot for the win. Think I'm going to bring a camera out later this afternoon for some shots in the snow.

I nearly got rear-ended by an M6 last night. He went sideways behind me braking for our traffic light.
I thought BMWs these days had all of these fancy electronics blah blah blah that were so great.
(I know, reality is he's probably on Z-rated hey look at me I can do the 0-60 fast! tires but his $80+k car got rendered useless last night and nearly saw a shit-ton of damage. his saving grace was me pulling forward through the light a tad to avoid it.)

I like the fact that everyone up here knows how to drive in the snow. I don't have to look over my shoulder for idiots every time theres snow all over the roads.

Mustangs are total shit in the snow. My buddy has a V8 GT and he decided (after playing in a parking lot with my Escape and having a good time) to go get the Stang and try snow fun with that. Didn't work. No traction and he got stuck trying to get out of the parking lot.
It was an auto at the time, now it's a 5 speed (did a conversion...) but even trying to start it in 2nd with traction control off did nothing.
