Yes, i'm in TX....but born and raised in CA. Stayed in MN for a while with
my sister and have also had the "privelage" to stay in Fargo for a week in
the winter. I'm used to ice...and people out here don't know how to drive
on it. ;)
Heheheh...heated tires - I need a set.

Bernd,aren't you in Texas? I mean,have you ever even
seen ice? :) We need 4X4's up here. Seriously.
Actually,my tires are heated. If my overhead computer
ever senses that I am not the proper number of
millimeters above sea level for my specific
location,the tires (all four) come on and begin to
melt down through the ice. I think it's all done with
diodes. :)
Thanks!
