I learned to drive in the dune buggy my brother & I built. I was 14 and spent two years driving off road in mud and dirt. Mud is different than ice but the basic principals are the same.
Living in Alabama there was not much chance to drive in snow.
The first year I lived in Oklahoma we had a 8 inch snow storm. I was in my 914. The POS garage apartment I was renting ($90 per month furnished) had frozen water pipes. I called the land lord and he said he could not get there without tire chains. I asked what size chains he needed and where he lived. I drove to the store, bought the chains drove to his house and delivered them. Then I drove home and I did not have chains. Just a 914 2.0.
That thing would leave marks in the snow where the engine mounts hung down dragging through the snow.
