I agree, but make sure there are no "hidden" speed bumps or them
cement parking lot things (what are they called?).  I was parcticing
my snow driving a few months after I got my license in my first car 
(85 Scirocco 8v, YES) and there just happend to be a curb hidden under 
the snow,THWUUMP! there goes one of my turantula rimes :( (I found a
straight new one for $10 though!).
