LOL, I love how they make a big deal out of driving an AWD car with two inches of snow on the road. There are Crown Vics flying by in the background yet they make it sound like they're the only people in the world out there

The vents in the side of the engine cover. Pretty easy for snow to blow in, I would think.

Makes sense... someone should make a clip on top for the engine cover that can be removed before driving.

A rwd 911 sorta works in the snow because of the rear engined (weight balance!) layout. Otherwise rwd + snow = teh suck.
