So, what will this do to the value of my ‘73 Thing?
This is all a bunch of bullshit. I grew up in the snow, and was taught that when in doubt, accelerate.
Interesting. Never seen one before, but I’d drive it.

I got in, shut the door, and the…
Don’t stick that in my... OUCH!!!!!
My girlfriend bought one of these in the mid-90's. What’s worse, she traded in her awesome SAAB 900 Turbo for it. What’s worse still, is we usually opted to take my Mazda B2200 pickup because it was far more exciting to drive, and actually handled better.
