I love my car.
I'm beginning to think that my hatred for winter was, at least in part, driven by driving old shitty cars for much of my life. So far this year the Valkyrie (My Subaru wagon) has managed to entirely shrug off the effects of winter. It's literally as if I'm not even driving on or through snowy surfaces so far. Not that this winter has been all that heavy or cruel yet, but I'm still impressed.
So far I've only gotten her to fishtail once after making a rather large driver error. Otherwise my excessive worry about driving in the snow has been completely unfounded now that I'm driving a car made within the last five years. Having the right tools for life really does change your outlook in large ways.
If nothing else it gives me the confidence to go out in the world when I might not have dared otherwise. And that really can't be such a bad thing.
