Indeed. We get serious winters up here, and whenever a 4WD owner says that he can get a greater distance in his vehicle than we can, we always answer with "ye olde saying": "Yeah man, you can get a longer distance off the road when you lose it!"
It always takes a longer towing line to get'em out..

I've been driving 22 years without traction control or ABS. Never lost it (touching wood), never had to stay home because of the weather. Sometimes it feels like most people leave their brains at home whenever snow flakes are falling...
