As a native North Carolinian, Raleigh even, I wanted to make note that Scott is not talking about all NC people. I for one, *CAN* drive in this stuff in my 4x4. I have many years of experience from being a ski instructor in the NC mountains on tight curvy roads with steep grades. Where's yours... flat straight roads? ;) Also consider how many people in this area are northern transplants too... who says they are the ones who can't drive?? I dunno... I'm just defending those of us who can drive in it.
disclaimer: *NO ONE* can drive in ice... no common man anyway, not 4x4s or 18 wheelers, unless you have chains and spiked tires! laters, David McD On Fri, 21 Jan 2005 12:59:47 -0500, Scott G.
