Default Dirty Hoe In The Snow.

I was hoping these pics would turn out better than they did, oh well. I think my camera was cold (it's always in my glove box), plus the lighting was pretty bad.

Funny you should ask. It is 4x4 and this morning I had a hair up my a$$, or too much coffee in me, so I decided to push the limits of the Stabilitrac.

To exitmy neighborhood you have to go up a fairly steep hill that's only a block long. It was very, veryslick this morning so I kept my hoe in 2wd and let the Stabilitrac do it's thing. Well, I didn't even reach the top of the hill before I was at a standstill. To get to the top I had to put her in AUTO, I then motored up it no problem. Stabilitrac did its job and didn't let my hoe spin its wheels. It's a weird feeling when you have your foot to the floor yetyou're not going anywhere.

Then I got an even more wild hair and decided to take a back road into work that is very hilly with off-camber downhill corners. This road is notoriously dangerous, even when dry. It’s the type of road with crosses next to large trees on sharp corners. The ole’ hoe conquered it in style. The only other vehicle we saw was a snowplow/sanding truck
