On the weekend I will go for a 8.5mi hike to a abandoned fire tower and eat lunch. Same hike but I always see something different.

Please apologize to the tree that produced the oxygen you breathe.

According to your logic, a 2wd w/ snow tires will be a 4wd w/ snow tires AND even with a locking rear diff. Have you ever been off roading or gone up a icy slope in the winter?

You live in canada, so buy something with both 4wd / 2wd. Having 2wd for the summer will save you gas money, and having 4wd means its safer to drive in snow (regarding safety from your vehicle and not others).

Make sure to check the oil dip stick and transmission dip stick too. And if the car is already when you get there turn it off first thing and just look through car.

I’m from the states, but what’s stopping one from removing the modem or snipping the antenna?
