New car vs icy roads

Can I just say how much I love our new car!!! Yesterday we had a pretty big snowstorm come through. We drove around to see how well our new car would handle it. It is so nice! Cordell made the comment that it will be nice in the summer, but it is awesome in the winter! The slush and snow froze over night so the driveway was very icy. I was thinking that in the van we would have had to get a running start to get up and out of our driveway and dart onto a very busy street. In the new car I didn't have to dart out like a jack rabbit onto 1400 north! It was so nice to be able just to pull out like I normally do and not have the tires spinning like crazy trying to get a grip! I love it! Now I feel safe driving in bad weather. Now if everybody else would drive careful and not crazy it would be great (but that is job security for me ;) ). We are very blessed to be able to afford a vehicle like this to get us around and keep us safe.
