Wife finally admits she likes the X

I have had my X for about 3 years now. My wife has always claimed that she doesn't like it (She drives an Explorer). Last night, we got a big dump of snow. It was at least 18", and maybe 2'. One of my sons had company over, and he decided to leave about 2 AM. Of course, my son gets a call about a half hour later. His friend is stuck. I was asleep. My wife and son decide to go bail this guy out and that they should take the X instead of the Explorer. They got the kid out of the drift and then had to push him up a hill. My wife got home at 4:30 and woke me up to tell me about it. "Wow. Your Excursion really does well in the snow. It plowed through all of that stuff as if it weren't even there. It's like being royalty, driving around looking at all of those other people having trouble and just cruising by without a care in the world." Now if I could just get her to use the tractor to get all of that snow out of the driveway...

Living here in South Florida I have a plow on my Ex to push the sunshine off the driveway. :-)

BTW, It's in the 60's today and not a cloud in the sky! :-)

Why bother with the expense and hassle of a plow? I just reverse the polarity on my headlight wiring and it sucks all the sunshine out of the way.

We've been covered with ice and snow since Wednesday with power out for a bunch of folks. I'd better not say what I'm thinking right now!
