When I was still the golden boy the people I work for gave me a Ford Escape as a company car. That thing could go anywhere. I swear that it could probably climb the side of a building.

Naturally they gave it to me because they expected me to stay working, no matter what kind of weather I encountered. Then, after three years having it as a tool they took it away... naturally they still expected me to respond to emergencies no matter what.

I didn’t mind when it was their gear but I’d rather not risk losing my equipment so I turned them down. I’m not the golden boy any more.

I got stuck in a Jeep today so there are limits. Yes, had a shovel and dug out of the drift with some help from another guy who stopped to help. When the snow is much deeper than your ground clearance it starts getting dicey.
