The only way I can try to explain the way the roads are up here, is through a disneyworld ride called Test Track. If anyone is familiar with that, then the very first turn where they say it's winter driving(where they claim there is no ABS), thats what its like on any given day WITH ABS up here in the winter. For us, ABS is useless, for most it causes more accidents as they all rely on it to kick in. For me, when it kicks in I slide where I wasnt sliding before prior to abs. thats winter driving. now for summer driving. the only way this can be understood, is this. go drive through any farmers field. thats what city driving is like for us. now go drive down a rough gravel road. thats what highway driving is like for us. now go mudding, thats what any given gravel road is like for us. it's terrible!
