I no longer have one as of last month, but I do need one. Were I live is about the last place to get plowed in the winter. The drifts are often 4' high and 30' across on my somewhat rural suburban street. Last year I had to walk home a couple blocks, even with a 4WD Ford Escape. Now that I'm driving an econobox, l'll probably have to walk a quarter of a mile several times a year when returning home. I'll also have to go to work very late, or skip work entirely (not an option).
