Take teh CJ so when you run it into a tree it will give you reason to "have" to buy a tubing bender and build some badass bumpers for it 
You still doing the training stuff? Just call in, and hang out at home with the family, I look for any reason these days to stay at the house

Not training, OPS support for FIN (Fix it now). A specialized maintenance group for emergent work. Dayshift 5-10's and I get to mess with more **** troubleshooting.

With the V, I can turn off the traction control and still leave the active handling on (competitive driving mode) although less sensative. My big question was really how much difference does the summer tires hurt. I see and hear about it on TV or net but don't know the difference.
One issue is that if there is any ice, they'll close the roads then insurance won't cover anything if there is an accident.

I drive my 2wd silverado with a G80 daily in the winter. So far this year we've had over 40 inches of snow. I never have problems, never use sandbags. Personally I'd use the Tahoe. More weight over the *** end than my truck, otherwise sounds the same

Well, we got 9.5" last night and it started snowing again! This is the most snow I've ever seen here. More than we got during the blizzard of 1993. I didn't even bother calling into work. I'm sure there wouldn't be anyone there to answer the phone in my office anyhow. We may do some site seeing in the CJ in a bit.
