Not really a question but more of a comment. I got to test out my Explorer's all wheel drive system this weekend.
Although my Subaru Baja did very well coming home from work the other day in all that slushy snow, I must say that my Explorer AWD seems to go better in the snow than my Subaru does. Probably due to the fact I got Good Year Wranglers on the Explorer and Michelins on the Subaru. I was very pleased with how well it performed.
Here's the difference in tread pattern:
When it comes to American cars I'm a Ford man but why do people with Mustangs attempt to drive up hills with 6" of snow? This seemed to be the most common abandonded car I saw this weekend.
Notice the red Mustang on the interstate where the snow plow went around him. What a traffic hazzard.
Here's some pics my wife took.

Here's my Explorer all cleaned up. I wish it was that clean right now.
