Thought everyone might be interested in my new winter beater. Needed something with all-wheel-drive and decent snow tires. Drives great in the Iowa winter!

Why not? Safest car I've ever driven in snow. Does better than my Explorer.

E55 then E63, now back to an E55
I second the notion of driving it in the snow. Those cars do work great! As a matter of fact- I kinda like driving in the snow, but currently I'm not driving a Turbo or C4S. Enjoy!
