For the winter, you will actually welcome the very strict traction control. I bought mine in January of last year when it was buried under a foot of snow. The next day I moved to Georgia and Atlanta got "pounded" with snow, the city was iced over for a good 5 days and I was one of the only cars on the road. The previous owner put "performance" winter tires on, not sure if it helped much or not. I got a flat in the rears and one of the fronts blew out while I was doing some spirited driving in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so I no longer have those tires. You are obviously going to have to stay away from unplowed streets. With the plastic skid plate under the front end, you will ride on top of everything and essentially frame your car. And maybe it was just a defective tire, but if you get snows DO NOT put them under high thermal and mechanical stresses, or you may experience a blowout similar to mine at a very inopportune time.

Or shell out an extra $1500 and get Mike Tubiak's Jeep Grand Cherokee he's trying to sell... You will spend a ton in snow tires anyways (if you were considering that route).

lol ok thanks everyone. very solid advice. im just so glad everythings coming together. and id love to be a lead car for a stroll. lol id probably lead everyone in the wrong direction but who cares! just let me know of any upcoming events in the area. if im not at school or work, ill be there!
