Agree with finding an empty lot and practicing start, stop, turning. Definitely learn to countersteer (steer into the slide) when the rear end starts to come around. You do not mention if autostick, but if it is flip the switch next to the stick to "W" (winter) so it starts in second for less wheel spin. Good luck on any MA hills.

I test drove a Crossfire in January 2005 on a packed snow backroad in Grand Haven MI. It actually handled well with all-season as long as I was judicious with the throttle. Never drove the roadster in the snow after it was delivered in April 2005.

My SRT6 was driven by the salesman from Chicago to Holland MI in Jan 2008 and he arrived in a snowstorm. My street had at least 6" of snow with some drifting, so the neighbors helped me push him to my house and up my driveway. The SRT6 has never seen snow again either.
