As a long time fan of front wheel drive [I used to drive competitively for SAAB.], I have frequently stated that 4 wheel drive is a dangerous thing for those who don't really need it. It encourages people to drive when they should stay home. If front wheel drive won't get me where I'm goin', I ain't goin. It took me 7 hours to get from Brooklyn to Lady Hillary's place in North Jersey on Friday. When we measured, we had 19 inches [of snow].
