Big wheels with skinny tires

I agree with Ann. I drive an F250 4x4 diesel long box. I don't know how many people pass me during poor road conditions. It's amazing to me about how many people think 4x4 is a magic bullet for ice. You can't stop any faster. So I let them pass. I get home safely and therefore my insurance stays down.

We moved my wife to a big SUV in December from the Mustang. Needed it for the cargo capacity and the 4x4 system since we live out in the boonies. The big thing was carago capacity. Criteria was: haul two dogs (65 & 75 lbs), a baby seat and associated crap, and enough of our crap for 4-6 days stay. Not many on the market can do that. No one makes a big station wagon anymore.

That's my attitude regarding those that pass me on ice. It's just stupid to go that fast. But then, that's why I make it to work and home. It may take me longer, but it's still faster than waiting for a tow truck.
