like 1 week a year we get ice.
Jan or Feb time frame.
so snow really isn't an issue. When we do get the ice storms the city shuts down, so no one drives anyway.
except stupid 17 year old me spinning out and having to drive the wrong way on an empty street with a cop driving my way on the correct side of the street.

The other reason I was going to take the older car, was if it doesn't work that day, I can work from home without it being a big deal, vs the kid missing school or whatever.

I recognize that she might kill what ever I give her, based on my destructive past, and while a beater might be better, safety is more important.
