    Many people think that having a 4x4 makes them invincible. Well when handled improperly it just ensures that all four wheels spin and loose traction instead of two.

    Driving would be a lot safer if more people understood the basic laws of physics.

    Just like voting would be a lot safer if more people understood the basic laws of economics.

    I used to have fun driving the bosses GEO and Festiva when I was a courier. They worked out well in the snow. A bald tire with a bit of steel belt showing was ok on ice.
    I like sex, drugs and automatic weapons. That's why i'm a dues paying member of the Libertarian party. Struggling to keep the government away from messing with the above.

    If you don't think marijuana causes brain damage, you should ride with me for a couple of days. I have averaged about 200 miles a day in and around Denver for my job over the last 20 years. The snow just exacerbates a problem I have seen building for a while now. I'm looking for a real good quality dash camera. I'm going to sell these videos to fund my retirement.

    I drove an M3 for a winter...once. After that, I bought a cheap winter beater to get around in during snow. Granted, it didn't have snow tires so I could have helped the case. I did have a 325i before the M3 and it had good all seasons and a big stereo in the trunk. It did good for the most part but I still prefer a 4x4. It just eliminates a lot of the stress.

    I couldn't believe I saw a dude in a new(ish) one this morning.
    Oh no, dude. If you can afford an M3, you can afford a beater.

    That said, he was doing great.
    Obviously not a golfer.
