I want to visit most of Switzerland and it would be nice to have somewhere to leave my bag no matter where I go. I don't think driving through the mountains is such a problem (we have mountains in Canada too, although they are not as big). But I'm really not familiar with European cars so that might cause me a bit of a problem, I'm not sure

Another option is going by train, but travelling via other indirect routes. eg: go to Paris (and visit France while you're there 
), and from there there are direct trains to Switzerland IIRC. But, all things considered it would be a bit more expensive because you take a longer route etc... then again, you'll also have the chance to visit France for example...
I think this is what I had in mind. I don't think I really want to visit Paris, though.. they don't like us so much (French Canadians) but I'm sure there could be other places I could visit. Either that or pass through Germany and make a stop. I'm just not sure what to visit.
Either way, I'll have to consider price and if I want to see more (plane won't really allow this)

true, my friend had an accident in switzerland due to him not knowing how to drive with snow. i guess that's not a problem for wacky though, lol.
haha no, snow isn't a problem but I don't think I'll be driving through any snow since it's summer in the northern hemisphere

Snow is indeed one big problem. But I was more refering to driving in mountains and steep passes. Even without snow, driving around on mountain roads needs some skill too (or your car's transmission wouldn't survive if you do it wrong - speaking out of experience 
). The combination of the two is even more yucky I suppose 
But I'm sure Wacky can conquer the Alps 
aww
I'll have to think about the whole driving part a bit more. I think I can take more time to decide. Right now I kind of have to focus on when I should arrive in Europe. Sunshine seems to have been busy lately
Edit: nevermind, this is due to my stupidness
