Not really the point, is it billb. There are plenty of vehicles that are much more practical in the snow than a Jeep CJ or Wrangler.
I see Mr. Lynn's point...wanting an inexpensive convertible that has 4WD. Difficult to find in other vehicles since those two needs occupy opposite climatic niches, though my personal feeling is that a Wrangler is such a severe compromise as a roadgoing vehicle (steering, brakes, stability, noise, warmth etc) that I think it'd make a lot more sense to have an inexpensive summer convertible (Miata would be ideal) and a separate snow car (Jeep Cherokee, Honda CRV, RAV4, etc).
