It sounds like the bass is done, If we weren't heading up to Duluth this weekend, we'd jump in the car & pick it up. I'll have to wait until next weekend to get my "Electric Fart" back. It looks like it's all spruced up for it's fiftieth birthday!

It didn't snow in Duluth while we were there, but we ran into some fairly heavy stuff on the way home. Traffic came to a complete stop several times on 35.  ???

We had a couple inches of snow last Friday here in Fort Collins.  My wife and daughter were out hiking today and say it snowed on them.  This is AWD car heaven...the crossover and SUV are the national cars of Colorado.  I think there are more SUbarus and Jeeps here than anywhere I've ever lived.

I drive a 2007 Murano AWD.

I just finally sprung for 4-Wheel Drive vehicles for the first time. I bought a poor mans Land Rover, A Toyota 4Runner just shy of four years ago. We were traveling through the Colorado mountains during the last big snowfall last spring, I was glad to have it. Last spring I bought my wife a Toyota Highlander 4WD, I was hoping it would kick the 4WD  in today, to see how it worked, but it didn't. Living in Minnesota, major snow is almost a guarantee....................
