While we had other business, some paddling friends were at a cottage nearby and invited us over for dinner - they'd rented the place for a planning session for their upcoming Gwaii Hannas kayak trip. The road in to the cottage was unpaved, about a kilometer of not- recently-plowed snow. Most of the cars were at or near the main road and we passed a couple of vehicles in snowbanks close to the cottage. Amie, driving her Honda Accord with snow tires, cruised right in. No one believed us when we said we drove all the way in. When we left, they all came out to watch, amazed, as we drove away. 4WD is for people who don't know how to drive :-) > and never > complained about the good gas mileage (25 - 28 on the road; 20 in > town) My little Honda gets almost twice that. Definitely feels better at the pump.
