I had a nice entertaining post made up, but then the computer died and I lost it all. Now, feeling rather lazy and enjoying a nice adult beverage after an 8 (yes eight) hour commute over what should have been a 30 minute drive, I offer for your entertainment and viewing pleasure:
My ice covered front end... much to the chagrin of many an AWD crossover owning "East Cobb Snob" as we like to call them around here, watching me rumble by with my 38+ year old 2wd pickup truck while they sit or stand next to their Cadillac or lexus (or occasional 4wd late model pickup on the curb)...
I used my know-how and former new england driving experience to stop in the local home depot as the road turned to solid ice and build some homemade snow chains... (a little ugly as the outside guides were too long and I didn't want to go back in and trim so I just adjusted and tied them into the sides)
