I had to mention that I don't mind driving in icy weather. My problem with winter is frozen doors and key locks, dead batteries, won't start in the dead of cold, etc. The car I have takes a small international battery and it only works well in the summer. During winter time forget it, I have to have that thing jump started about 5 or 6 times and it is a new battery. I can't get a larger Sears diehard because it won't fit in my car.
