People who lived in unincorporated territory in Montana are not the only people who benefit from SUVs. I recently moved to Chicago, and shortly after we had to ditch our '93 Accord for a '99 CRV. I was reasonably pleased until the first heavy snow, whereupon I was overjoyed, and have been every winter thereafter. 4-wheel drive is officially the greatest thing that ever happened to me in terms of driving on snow. More specifically, for parallel parking in heavy snow, wherein one must drive over drifted/plowed/packed snow to get from the curb to the street and back again. Anybody who disputes the magic of this has never experienced it or is lying or is a sourpuss or possibly some combination of the three. That is all.
