Thanks for the replies. I knew ground clearance was going to be my enemy, but six inches might be generous in my case. My cat seems to ride a little lower than that... I'll eventually break down and take it to a shop to have a few things looked over (this included,) but that will take a tremendous force of will on my part. I'm just having too much fun driving the blasted thing!
I have heard that they handle surprisingly well in the winter from another source, but cat litter in the trunk (fittingly) and snow tires are definitely on the menu.
"Snowcat." I like it. I'm more concerned about being mistaken for a snowbank than anything. Nimbus white might not be the whitest white that ever did white, but I'm sure it'll make for frustratingly effective winter camo nevertheless. I have a feeling that the ninja paintjob will be more irritating than the complete ability to keep it clean.
They've forecasted a "mild winter," but in Minnesota that probably just means 5'11" snowbanks instead of 6' snowbanks... I'll flip a coin to determine whether I just buy 500 bucks worth of winter beater or a public transit pass.
