Congrats on the new car. The guys all talk about the "perma grin". Believe me, it's a female thing too !

I'm close to you in Dayton, mine is a daily driver so our winter weather is close (sometimes !) I found this winter that if I added weight in the back ( 2-60# sand tubes) it made a world of difference.

As the other's said, slow but sure and anticipate the lights, especially on hills !
Enjoy it, you're about to fall in love with the best little car made !
