Alright... I'll go for it, got some positive responses over at Audizine too.

I've been driving the manual for over 7 months now... yea that's not a lot of experience but I'll take it easy. I tried taking off the car on 2nd gear with some clutch usage and just practiced in general before I hit the snow for my first time in life. I'll post after I get back this coming Monday, hopefully without any injuries to the car.

Thanks guys.
