You're absolutely right!

When we lived in Colorado Springs and the Ute Pass area, and later in the White 
Mountains of Arizona- everyone told my mum that she'd have to get a four wheel 
drive (as they were called back then), that we'd never be able to get around 
for and entire winter with either her '63 Caddy or her Chevy Nova. It used to 
bring joy to my old mum to be cautiously making her way down the road and see 
so many over zealous 4 wheel drivers stuck! My mother was from upstate New 
York-and held to the day she died that they "had *real* snow there!" I don't 
think anyone in my immediate family have owned 4 wheel drives when they lived 
in snow zones. I found that people get carried away (including in this 
particularly wet winter we're having here in so. Cal) and think that they're 
invincible and don't slow down. 

Wetly,
