Silly link...



Just found a very obnoxious article at http://www.autosite.com -- 
specifically http://www.autosite.com/new/winter.html. This site is 
similar in Edmund site. In this particular article, AutoSite has prepared 
some stuff to recommend vehicles for wintry travel.

Here are two excerpts from a link "four-wheel-drive/all-wheel-drive":

"What's the difference between full-time 4WD and AWD (All Wheel Drive)?
 Well, although the traction action is basically the same, the former
 is commonly part of a rugged package suitable for off-road use, and
 the latter is usually intended to make the suburban housewife feel
 safer while ferrying the kids to and from fast-track after-school
 activities in inclement weather..."

"That magical device gives you all-wheel drive when you need it whether
 you know it or not. The first version I ever saw was in the AMC Eagle,
 but since then it's been used in lots of other vehicles from VW
 Vanagon Syncros and the Honda Civic Real-Time wagons to Chrysler
 mini-vans, Astro vans, and Range Rovers..."

Hey... wait a minute! Are we bunch of surburban housewives (or future, 
current, and/or ex-husbands)!?

Sheesh -- talking about his first AWD he ever saw -- an AMC Eagle!! (Uh... 
Joe-Bob? How's your AMC coming along??) I wonder how old this kid is!

Well, 'nuff said.
