Subject: Re: New York by bogus on 2010/6/6 2:31:45 That's Great! Glad you had a safe trip! I will be honest... I lived in Delaware for most of my life, and we got snowed on every so often. I never felt the need for a 4x4. Unless you WANT one, I would skip it. I would recommend something like an older Subaru (yes, but not with all the issues...). A 4x4 is a gas hog, bad on maintenance and bad on insurance (even more so in parts of the country where off roading is more necessary)... A few years back, a friend picked up a great winter vehicle. It was a 2dr Chevy Blazer (small S10 version), with a 4.3 V6, 5spd manual and LSD rear. 2wd, by the way. It was PERFECT in the snow with some snow tires. I will never forget a very bad weather day. Winter 1999, driving home from work in north DE to my home near Dover. The highway near Odessa, DE was all backed up. This was due to a couple of accidents... oh, and both wrecks? Caused by over confident assholes in 4x4 SUVs. I ain't kidding... there were several vehicles involved and all of them were 4x4s! Just something to consider. |
