Re: SUVs in Chicago's Snow

["Dave Puterbaugh" <deputer@email.msn.com>]

What most people do not realize is that all wheel drive gives you more
traction for acceleration, but no more traction for braking.  I would
venture to guess that the majority of the accidents were of the "Hang on!
We are not going to stop in time." type.  Been there, done that several
times.
