    The first time I saw snow tires on the front end of a car I realized that the world had indeed changed forever. You young'uns cannot imagine how very strange that seemed.

    All this talk of knowing which wheels are the drive wheels reminds me of my friends who drove to Lake Tahoe in a 2WD Blazer and got caught in the snow. Being girly girls, they paid a guy to put chains on for them. He put them on the rear tires. They nearly wrecked.


    Good times!


    I'm so freaking glad I know more about cars than most guys in the general population do...

    @middyz: The question, as I see it, is why they didn't have him put chains on all four wheels.

    It seems like it would make a great viral ad. If I were filming I would not have stopped when the video did.


    What kind of vehicle is that - a new cr-v?
