If you must drive your bolt in the winter, Snow tires are a MUST, as is weight in the back end. Sand works, but we always used big sacks of chicken grit. That way, if we got stuck, we'd have something for traction, too. My dad used to have a rusty old GMC (it was a '70, I think) that he'd drive in the winter. He never had any problems with anyone doing anything stupid around him. They all figured he didn't care if he hit them or not! ~#~#~#~#~ 1946 Chevrolet 3600 - "Old Number Seven" Cavalry's Here.
