Message	I coudn't take off on a perfectly flat highway in a traffic jam in 1" of snow. The car would start to rotate and not move forward. Everyone around me was taking off fine. I put my winter tires on the next day (I was coming home from a trip). I wouldn't drive my Z in the snow except in an emergency. Or rain for that matter.
