To start off I feel a little stupid, I got my car from my dad. He takes very good care of things, he had a chart of all the oil changes and work done. So it felt great to get this car that was 200K miles. It is a Honda CRV. I was really sure my dad said it was an all wheel drive. However I notice it slips and slides more than the Subarus that I have owned.

So I tried to go up to the foothills outside of Boulder today, while it was snowing, because I thought the car was AWD. Apparently it is not, and I had to turn around, I had some scary slippery moments, and I tried my chains but they got me out of where I was at however they were not the right size. I was too nervous to stop to pick them up so I left them.

My goal now is to get a manual transmission Subaru outback in less than a year, before next winter. I really loved them when I have had them and they had the best snow handling ever.

Guess I am not so invincible because I learned to drive in the mountains.
