Last year, my Buick got stuck a few times in the snow.
An example is HERE.
This year, there has only been one incident where I was unable to make it up a hill, and the odd thing is, this has been a much harsher winter than last year.
So it appears my driving in this wacky snow has improved. Nevertheless, that one time I was unable to make it up a hill really bugs me. With 4 wheel drive, I think my ability to make it through the snow would be much better.
......
I turned down the Dodge Nitro today. It is a GREAT price they offered me, but I haven't seen any Nitros on the road, the reviews for it online are poor, and the service department at my company told me that the Nitro they rented for a service trip sucked really bad. Plus, Chrysler-Dodge has been struggling to make quality vehicles for the last 10 years or so. For example, Jeeps have the highest problem rates of any vehicle it seems. So that ends that. The salesman was not happy.
.....
I went to a Toyota dealer today. Two words: Eff that.
Toyotas are great. My mother had an '82 Celica that I thought the world of. But, they have no deals, the selection sucks (at least at this dealer), and I don't care for most of the lineup from that manufacturer anyway. Tomorrow I am going to check out a Chevy dealer. We'll see.

I hope the Black Granny holds up while I browse for a replacement.
