I use mine to:
1. To haul British and other classic car parts.
2. To tow new and/or inoperable British and other classic cars.
3. To drive when snow depth covers British car bonnet.
4. To drive when mud depth covers British car bonnet.
5. To drive when state spreads "Triumph Dissolver" on highway.
In other words, indispensable, but definitely not invincible. Almost
anything drives better on the highway. I use an Audi Quattro for
normal winter commuting. In my world, there is no "sport"
in "sport utility vehicle".
(Back when good British bodies were a bit more common, my
winter drivers were always MGB's and Midgets. Up to about
4" of snow, they went better than most other RWD cars.)
