(1) 2002 Carrera 4S; 6SPD; summer tires (2) 2006 E350 RWD; all-season tires (3) 2004 M3; SMG; OEM summer tires Thoughts? Balancing driveability and luggage space, I'm leaning more towards the E350. Agreed?

An E350 is not a good winter vehicle. It doesn't stop unless it is unladen, and it doesn't go unless it is loaded with some weight in the back.
Have you considered a Budget or Hertz rental? A Volvo XC70 rental makes a great ski car for the weekend.

wouldn't it be ridiculously expensive to rent such a vehicle for a few days??
and haha sounds like the E350 can therefore EITHER stop OR go depending on whether it's loaded or not -- but a huge thank you for the heads up on that, i had no idea........

rent an SUV. If it does snow, any of those vehicles will have a hard time.

Walk or hitch a ride
with some real snows the e350 may get it done but on all seasons it could be really dicey

Are you serious?:
A porsche with barely any trunk or passenger room, and summer tires or An M3 convertible with, again, a small cabin & trunk. or A midsized Benz with a relatively big interior and trunk, and acceptable snow skills. Hmmm...I wonder... ![]() Rent an Expedition or Suburban

Like others have said, go rent a car. Almost every Toyota dealer rents their cars out, so get a 4Runner.

As they all said, rent an SUV & throw in chains to get past the
roadblocks, or get the Fam to buy a winter car, lol! |
