I’ve been without 4-wheel drive since 2002, when I purchased my Saturn LS2. I really didn’t even notice except the few times a year when it snowed over a couple of inches, but recently I’ve been going to my sister’s log home, in Dexter.

Her driveway crosses a dam, which I seem to keep getting high-centered on…the gravel road has a high crown.

A while back, I overheard a friend talking about buying a new vehicle. I knew she was still driving her 1997 Toyota T100….which had only 68k on the odometer. I shot her an offer and last week became it’s 2nd owner. It’s by no means perfect, but the drivetrain is bullet-proof.
