Like a Furd.

Actually, it really does purr and sound good. Brakes are solid. Steering is that old school loosey goosey but just fine. Plenty of power it and pulls fine up hills without needing WOT. Rarely if ever have to downshift for that reason. The back end can be a little tail happy but nothing worrisome.

It really is just like driving a big truck but just a little longer. Really liking it.

I probably passed 85-90% of the cars on the road in New Hampshire when the heaviest snow was coming down. So I'd say it did pretty good.

Oh, and we needed a new tail light... because I backed up into Ron's neighbors' dirt hill and crushed it. (hey, it was dark out)
