i don't drive minw everyday as of yet but i am heading that way. yall got me to thinking about just today, we have 7 or8 inches of snow on the ground and the garage where the 54 is, is about 60 feet behind the house. no driveway just yard but i thought i would give it a try. success no problems and a lot of fun. i wouldn't drive it snow before because i thought the tires 235-70-15 wouldn't go in snow not so put 500 lbs of concrete in back goes just fine. brakes a little touchy but working on that hope to be a dailey driver by end of summer.i am working on the budget now, what should come first. will always be a beater i suppose but still get thumbs up when i drive it. mechanics is where it is at, safety first. have a safe day. ron
