Hello Dan and Louise, I used to live in southeatern Alberta (not to far
across the border from your Regina). Weather has be good here in recent
years but no palm trees yet. I've been caught in enough snow storms to
realise its tough to turn back with small prairie towns 50 miles apart. I
have also pulled people's cars out of ditches during extreme weather. I'd
like to think I may have helped someone and even saved a life. My trucks
have been very helpful. Larry.

Amen, brother!!! My wife and I hit a 900 pound steer on the highway one
night in my old 77 Monte Carlo. Broke a headlight, bent the fender and
ripped the rear bumper off making 900 pounds of ground beef. If we had been
driving our other car, a Chev Sprint, we would have made an additional 300
pounds of ground people. Small cars are good on gas and great for parking
but if you travel at highway speeds, you had best have a little more vehicle
around you. Drive what makes you happy.
