Snow Report -- Saab Dusts Bimmer, Again

Nothing really new, but thought it funny that with the 4-5 inches on the ground here in Charlotte, my wife had to give her boss a ride in her 9-3 SE after he put his 5-series in a ditch.
I've seen it every time I've been in bad weather anywhere in the Mid-Atlantic, Bimmers sliding all over the place. I don't think it is the equipment -- Euros know to put SNOW TIRES on the things -- just goes to the type of buyer who really believes that Ultimate Driving Machine pitch makes them bulletproof.
Oh, special shout-out to the folks who drop $40K on a 2wd. SUV. Thirsty V8s AND towing charges. Priceless.
(Thankfully I've yet to see anyone hurt in these mini mishaps.)
