That is much the reason I have one (in Michigan). My wife drives a Mazda 626 back and forth 60 miles on I94 during the winter, and she never has a problem as long as she can get out of our road (out in the country), but when she goes into a ditch, she's stuck there. However, my 4WD gets right out, and can go pull her out if needed. But I do agree with everyone that some SUV drivers have an invincibility complex.

They are the morons in the ditch. However in Michigan I saw more Toyotas and Hondas in the ditch versus trucks. In a white out I ended up having to put my truck in the ditch, either that or get hit by the idiot next to me. I turned on the 4WD and drove right out. At the same time there were other cars that couldn't do the same. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Lyons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 10:17 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Jeep Grand Cherokee During that bad set of blizzards in the area several years ago (1996), I was commuting to a job about 60 miles away. Most of the other vehicles that were sort of on the roads were SUV's - mainly stuck in snow or turned over. Myself I was driving a Geo Metro and had no problems getting around in that weather. 4WD is not really necessary, you just know how to drive in snow. larry -- Larry C.
