slam, do you require a truck/suv/4wd type vehicle to deal with all the snow and ice up there?

list of all the cars i have owned

1979 honda accord, automatic (from 1989-91) - my 1st car. was a family hand-me-down

1984 buick regal, automatic (from 1991-91) - inherited from my grandma, sold it shortly after to buy my audi.

1984 audi 4000s, manual (from 1991-96) - the car i had in college. probably my fave car ever. was a money pit, by the time i sold it, windows didnt work, speedometer didnt work, parking break didnt work, sunroof didnt work, radio didnt work, AC didnt work, axel was cracked. - try triving a 5-speed in the mountains with no parking break. you have to be a master of parking. finally sold it for $200.

1994 grand am, manual (1996-99) - not sure why i bought this car other than it was cheap. i hated it.

1997 honda accord se, auto (1999-06) - the transmission died at 73,000 miles. go figure

2006 honda accord 2dr coupe, manual (2006-present) - great car, up to 93,000 miles. 1st new car i ever owned and its been paid for for last 2 years and still runs like a champ.

safe to say i love honda accords, although one day i hope to buy another audi.

Accords are great. Family has had one for less than 4 years and we've already put a good 70-80k miles on it. Terrific car. Has only been in the shop for scheduled services. The old Chrysler (really wasn't that old, but it felt it) was falling apart at 70k.

It helps, but that's not the main reason.

Being 6'7" it's a pain in the arse getting up and down while getting in and out of sedans. An SUV just makes it easier to swing in and out of and my knees aren't near my ears when I drive.

did you strike up a conversation?

some. just asked him about his recovery and he said he should be back mid Feb. seemed like a nice guy. vouged for me that one of the XBOnes was for a teammate bc I sold him 2 when we are only allowed 1 per customer.

Mid Feb??? I thought he was supposed to be out 3-4 months after surgery in like August. Thought he'd be back early next month sometime.

Yup he told me mid February lol
