Get whatever racks you can find on craigslist for cheap (that fit your car obviously) and try to get a box instead of the open clamp style racks. Yes get snow tires.

just go on craigslist or w.e and see if you can find some used bars. than go to canadian tire or somewhere who sells ski racks (crappy tire actually sells legit thule racks for a cheap price) and buy.

2003 bonneville ssei.

240 fwhp + supercharger + no snow tires = not a lot of driving this winter :(.

Glad I have friends with cars that can actually handle snow.

oh man, I'm very jealous. If I won 100 million dollars I'd still want a dodge ram. Although oddly enough I'm really partial to regular cabs. Very nice truck non the less.
