[Leica] Ferraris and Fire Hydrants

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

You would never get it up my driveway in the snow without Blizzaks or AWD.  
I have tried many times and failed.  Even my John Deer Tractor needs help 
when set up to remove snow (Chains, Wheel Weights, Liquid Filled Tires).

Cheers,
Gene
