I gotta tell you this one! I live on a hill, almost to the top..not really too bad. About 2 years ago we had a bad snow storm, maybe 12-15 inches. The roads were plowed but had 5 inches or so of new snow. At the bottom of the hill sat 5 4X4 suv's, they wouldn't even try! I buzzed by them in my old Grand Am and made it to the top! WHY did they even buy those beasts? I've lived here since 1978 and always made it up the hill with 2 wheel drive.
