[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 696476, member: 1963"] I don't have a "me" vehicle. It's varied over the years depending on what I could afford, (in the early years) what I could repair myself, and what my hauling and driving needs are. For the last 12 years, it's been SUVs. Not so much for the haulage, but because they give me much better visibility, and since I buy AWD/4WD, awesome traction in snow and mud. Now traction like that was a necessity in Rhinelander where it wasn't uncommon to wake up to 2' of snow on top of what had fallen 2 days ago, and not all the outlying roads were paved. Here in SE WI, we don't usually get dumps of snow like that, but roads get slushy and slippery and the torque and AWD are nice for getting away from stops in a straight line and holding on to the road in turns. Mind, a lot of that is knowing how to drive in foul weather. I currently drive a small Toyota SUV and while it was a bit undermuscled up in Rhinelander (I drove a Toyota 4-runner which was a TRUCK type SUV before trading it in on the RAV4) it is perfect for driving conditions down here. I guess you would say, if you have to say anything, that I'm an "suv person". [/QUOTE]
