Sure you can, I'm DD my M2 year around here in Canada and other members, like gthal, drive their M4's no problem.

All it takes is a good set of winter tires, and if you're not comfortable, a good winter driving school.

There's a lot of fun to be had with small RWD cars in the winter

Yes, prob need some winter tires, but I would be afraid of other people driving and mess my car up.

People cannot drive in the snow here...

Austin is awesome. I came here to go to school and never left. Super diverse city. Something for everyone. Great car culture, too. And you couldn't be more wrong about Texans being nice. Yes, there are jerks everywhere but really, people genuinely are nicer in the south.

You should definitely move here and add your M2 to the growing list here, along with me, atxsk8r, TheNeonTiger and who knows who else.

I had a Chevrolet salesman pushing the Camaro on me once the "a man's choice".

He scoffed when I told him I wasn't interested as I was looking for something that I could see out of, wasn't fucking enourmous, and didn't look like it was designed by a 10 year old Transformers enthusiast.

He stopped bothering me.

To be fair most car salesmen are the lowest scum of the earth. Sorry to any good salespeople on this forum but there are just so many a-holes in that career field.

That's ok. I doubt hipsters listen to heavy metal. Distance will be kept.

Because the M2 is a girly car and a real man doesn't drive one of those. Or at least according to Chrysler employees.

I don't. I just don't see why a bunch of grown men felt the need to come outside and talk down to me.
Because you're hot, driving a hot car, and many insecure "men" are too intimidated to approach you. So they think of ways to pick on you to "break the ice". Been going on since elementary school.

I highly doubt that's the reason but I guess being female in a hot car is enough.

This. Exactly Dr.Phil

And later on they start being (more) polite and then it's already maybe too late..Damage done.

Love that drivetrain but I just can't do it. It still feels cheap and tacky. I am a designer and the first thing i noticed in the C7 interior is how inconsistent the font kerning was on all of the controls. That and its a terrible font. That type of carelessness would drive me crazy.

I've been told you're so hot you don't need Blizzaks at all, not even in Alaska. Wherever you go in your hot M2, Al Gore was right, immediate Global Warming

Now that's a mans car.

But seriously That was an after thought for me. Crazy but it would've been 10k cheaper than the M. In the end, I couldn't betray my German car roots though.
