Jeep. There IS no substitute.....

I know EXACTLY what you mean. The city has been pretty much shut down by this storm, but I busted out my parents Wrangler 4x4 and have been tearing up the roads with it. I told my Dad if he had had chains for the thing, we could drive it up a mountain. 35+ down the streets when everyone else is at a crawl. Goes and goes. Just be careful of snow drifts. It's so light that if you find yourself in a rut, it'll carry you to wherever the rut goes lol

Christmas shopping was a breeze. No one was at the stores .. Some insane deals to be had too.

Jordan please remember that just because it can get you going 35 mph it will not help you stop......Jeep or no Jeep

As someone found out today as I was driving to the grocery store. Flying along a side road, this guy in a 4x4 pick-up forgets there's a stop sign and locks 'em up. Thankfully I was slowing down at the intersection and saw him coming (he was to stop, I didn't have a stop sign in my direction of traffic). He goes sliding into the intersection. He stops. I go around him.

Be safe out there, people. Don't want to have to make a post in the "Thoughts/Prayers" subforum because of an accident.

Was fluffy sticky snow on top of pavement. Stopped like a dream

I always make sure to do periodic brake tests before doing anything overly stupid

ETA:: Right now it's packed snow on a slab of ice... I'm not even driving
