Really! I remember when we had to take the Caddy and the Chevy every year and
have studded snow tires put on, and every spring go and have them changed back.
I remember my step-dad insisting that our driving lessons take place on the
dirt, ice and snow covered mountain backroads ("If you can drive through
here-you'll be able to drive in any conditions!" and he was right!)
*sigh*-waxing nostalgic for the good old days when we were *real* men!
