Stef SchraderIN BEFORE THE BLIZZARD
Step 2: Back review truck reeeeeally close to the garage so you can jump said winter beater. (The battery wasn't having it.)
Step 4: Actually put winter wheels and tires on winter beater.
Complain again that anyone who *likes* steelies when easier-to-grab wheels exist ain't right in the head.
Step 5: Rearrange items in garage, then ram a Ram in that hole.
(Also, remember that you still need to unpack the boxes in the garage.)
Step 6: Gloat!
Step 7: Salt the earth like you're trying to prevent an Altima factory from taking root.
Step 8: Test drive winter beater (read: find coffee you don't have to make) to see if it still makes a disconcerting grindy noise when accelerating.
(It does, but not that?? much??? Getting buried in a snowdrift helps!)
Fun fact: The test drive was to make sure I could get to the dentist tomorrow if the Ram on all-seasons (that belongs to my employer!) seemed like a bad idea.
I got a text from my dentist when I stopped at the first coffee joint I tried (which closed early) saying they were cancelling said appointment for the blizzard. WELP!
Step 9: LAUGH IN THE FACE OF DANGER. Acquire coffee...and queso. Also, margarita.
tl;dr—Good car? Good car. I need to fix it and it's still one of the better vehicles I've driven lately. The heater works REALLY well, too.

@moonwick I do like the Speed3 a lot
