Get sand, lots of sand. The rancheroo doesn't have any weight in the back.
This is good for trainning you how to drive in snow in empty parking lots.
But, it gets exciting in traffic. The canvas bags used for floods are
good. Three or four should do the job.

The MG is a good snow car. It handles just as well in zero traction as it
does on dry pavement. Bessie, you are using as an overgrown bumper car and
that is just what it is. Personally I prefer to avoid trouble rather than
smashing into things and hope Newton is on my side. (;-) that's a physic
joke.

This gets my vote. Don't be fooled by my current geographical address. I
grew up in snow country in Eastern Washington State. Put myself through
college as ski patrol and ski instructor. Best snow car I ever had was a
VW. When I would loose it, it just bounced off the snow banks left by the
plows and kept going.
