With cold temperatures and icy roads, total a$$clowns are out there. I was almost rear ended by a moron going too fast in a Jeep Wrangler. They guy skidded sideways and stopped 10 feet from my bumper at a stoplight. By the way, Dunlop Wintersport M3s work pretty well on snow and ice.

10 feet? no worries. Most with off-road capable cars feel they are good to go on snow...not true.

Default If you tune into the CalTrans radio broadcasts

up in the Mts, they tell you exactly that. 4WD's can not stop any differently than a 2WD.

Default Makes you a little nervous......

When you are trying to keep your car in good shape with all these other scheisskopfs out there. To top it off, the parking garage dripped liquified salt from the ceiling all over my car--and its 14 out right now. I just hope the layer of ice on the car will help keep it away from the paint until I can wash it.
