Snowed In

Detroit strip clubs
It's January 2 and I had planned to make my first strip club visit of the year. But now I'm snowed in with no chance for fun. Detroit weather is not kind to people who drive little sports cars. Should I buy an F-150 so I can drive in this snow or should I move to Florida or California so I don't have to deal with snow at all?
I hope those of you who live in milder climes will post your experiences today so I can live vicariously through you.

The problem with other parts of the country is that there are *other* problems there. It doesn't matter where you go, no place is perfect. Whether it's hurricanes in the south east, tornadoes in the midwest, or sliding into the ocean after an earthquake, you'll have to deal with something no matter where you go.
Really, go out and but some beat up heavy old clunker for a few hundred bucks. Make sure the engine is sound and the heater works. Put studded tires (or at least, snow tires) on the drive wheels, throw a blanket, water bottles, chains and 100 feet of heavy tow rope in the trunk. Fill the tank with ethanol free gas and add some moisture shedding additive.
Then go forth club, in any weather!
And I don't even have an excuse!
As I sit here in western Missouri it's a sunny 12F, wind chill zero, and 2 inches of snow down. Main roads have been cleared but still have packed snow slick spots. My small AWD SUV did well and I'm thinking of hitting day shift at a favorite local SC.
Shit, it takes *that* much there? Around here, if there's snow in the *air*, mild and bread freakin' teleport off the shelves, and the city comes to a bloody standstill.
As GMD said no place is perfect... this is why I'd split time if I could do it. Go to FL for the winter when it's not insanely humid there and the snow fucks northern state, then go back home the rest of the year.
I believe the slash man has mentioned he drives a BMW Z3 convertible. The Z3 doesn’t have much of a butt (lightweight rear?) and is rear wheel drive.
@jackslash,
Yes, buy an F-150. Get a model with 4WD. Put good snow tires on the machine. If you do any driving on steep inclines get a set of chains. You will discover the delights of chaining up at a roadside pull-out in sub-zero weather. For further assurance have a heavy duty winch (complete with 100m of good cable) attached to the front end of the F-150. I recommend a fuel tank in the box. The weight of a full 500l tank helps with traction. I also have a fully equipped tool box in the box - more weight for traction.
Do all this and I think you could probably make it to the Flight Club worry free, even as you brave the wilds of Michigan Avenue.
I understand that cities today pay him to stay away.
