I hate shoveling and driving in it. h:
I like driving in it... especially now that I've got the truck... not to say its any better of a snow car than, say, an accord... but the consequences of hitting a curb or a mailbox are dramatically diminished.

I loved driving in it because the rest of the people didn't coming from Long Island and NYC so I had the road all to myself.

What I hated was the SUV's that could handle it better than my '89 Accord LXi doing like 10mph in 18" of snow while I'm doing like 25-30 and it wasn't affecting me.

you're wrong there. Your '89 accord is probably a better snow car (aside from abs) than the majority of trucks and SUVs on the road. Very common misconception.

Not if they have traction control, 4 wheel drive, and snow tires. I ran regular tires with just my gas pedal and the brakes.

Yea over here......I won't drive in the snow unless I absolutely have to.

Not because I really hate driving in the snow, it's because other people don't know how to drive in the snow. They still drive like it's in the middle of July in 85 deg weather.
