Thank you! I'm having a lot of fun with it.

I live in Cleveland, Ohio (where we got 3" of snow yesterday!). I'd definately say we get a lot of snow, and the roads are heavily salted all winter. I'll update my profile to show that as well.

I'll have to look into that; the dealer offered it, but I thought it was a gimmick just like all the other junk they tried to shove at me.

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it!
