I always get a grin when driving in snow, watching the SUV's fly by me (hey, I got 4wd, I'm invincible!), and then seeing them rubbing a guard rail a few miles down the road. Around here, that happens a lot.

Yep, people fail to realize that even though 4 wheel drive allows them to go faster in the snow than if they didn't have it, it definitely doesn't make the vehicle handle better or brake better. ABS helps some on the braking, but the distances are still a lot longer.
