Yeah isnt that the truth. Although, Ive been known to take the civic out when I have needed too, and rip around in the deep snow! I can honestly say I havent got it stuck, or hit someone with it, yet

I gotta say, us Americans are a bunch of wusses when it comes the the metric system. I got used to it when I lived in Italy, and it's a breeze. We should've switched...

And yeah, the metric system is very easy, everything is in tens, and thats basically it.

We actually use both systems up here, each person has their own added on top of that too!

Like at work, some of the holes we drill are 66 feet, some are 20 meters (yeah figure the difference haha) and the others are 40 feet! Pipe is measured in feet and inches, with the exception of when its welded together then its 20 meters haha.
