    Lightbulb another option

    a couple 25 pound bags of sand will give you weight over the wheel wells. You can pour them out on the ground in front and behind tires for traction if you get stuck and use in the sand box for your kid if you do not end up needing them for traction.

    Lol, okay okay, I get the picture. Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll save the money and invest it in a fiberglass skid plate to protect my front bumper.

    vt- i consider myself pretty well versed in snow driving as i drive through the colorado snowy mountains on a regular basis... your axiom will do JUST FINE in the snow (former member morgan-tec had an axiom that would leave my VX sitting still in the mountains)

    if you have AT tires you wont have any problems as others have stated.
    however, ill agree with circ that you should pick up some sandbags to throw in the trunk, they are going to increase your traction, and also if you do get stuck you can use them to help you get out (as circ stated). and they are fairly inexpensive
    thats my opinion.

    Especially when you live on a beach.
