Car Forum / Honda Cars / December 2006Honda Civic gloat
As some of you may have heard, Denver has been hit by two blizzards in a week. Denver and Lakewood never got around to plowing the local residential side-streets from the last blizzard before this one hit. As I drive my front-wheel-drive 2000 Civic DX past SUVs that are fishtailing around or embedded in snow drifts, I indulge in a little schadenfreude. (OK, so I cheat--I use four studded snow tires. Four wheel drive is nothing compared to the glories of four wheel STOP.)

Bush, 9/7/2006 I have always said the same thing about those who opt for 4wd so they can drive in the snow.

I've driven on regularly plowed roads using nothing but 2WD with traction control. Less maintained roads can be too uneven for 2WD even with snow tires. > As some of you may have heard, Denver has been hit by two blizzards > in a week.

If the road is that difficult to get moving on than it is unlikely that stopping will be an option. SignatureBlackGT2000 http://www.automotiveforums.com
