Why in the world would you want to drive on ice? No car or sane person 
would, should, could drive on ice...unless they need to get to the hospital 
or they a caught in a storm.
I have driven an Automatic DeLorean #6058 & #3713 in snow and ice back & 
fourth from skiing in the mountains. The DeLorean does fairly well, compared 
to SUV's. I feel that it has more to do with the DRIVERS experience, rather 
than the make and model of car...even Hummers can get stuck...or is it the 
driver of the Hummer that get stuck.
My best friend drove a Hummer back in college. (that's how I found out 
about the interior dome light match & subsequently emailed my finding to 
JEepey back in Oct of 95).
Anyway, we thought that it would be fun to test the snow climbing 
abilities at 2:30 in the morning, & climb a snow covered hill. Bad idea, as 
we spent the next 6 hours waiting for a tow to pull us out.
