Totally agree


2 scenarios

AWD + Summer tires= Great traction

AWD + Summer tires= Death

Due to nature alone, in the past couple of winters, snow has accumulated for a total of say 2 weeks per year. Due to Chris Cristie's appetite for snow, snow is cleared and reduces the 2 weeks of snow accumulation to say one week per year.

Lets revisit that equation again

AWD + Summer tires= Great traction [51 weeks]

AWD + Summer tires = Death [1 week]

Why does death not happen

Car parked in garage = [1 Week]

You can change the numbers in [] to your liking
