Re: Texas Rav4 in mountains of Colorado a bad idea?

Best one I can remember was the day I got stuck in a rut that had
piled up frozen slush next to the curb. Darned stuff was frozen hard
and I could not for the life of me get that bug to climb out of the
rut. A neighbor's son had the high school wrestling team over that
day - they came out, lifted the front end out of the pile, set it on
the street side - problem solved. My biggest regret was that I let my
kids drive the bug when they started driving - end of bug. Bought it
from the original owner for $200 and drove the crap out of it. I
would probably still have it if the kids hadn't worked it over to the
point I couldn't keep it on th road.
