... you pass SUV's in the snow / rain

... you can see eye to eye with the drivers of those SUV's because they're in a ditch and you're not

... you've been known to say, "Yes, it really is 12 years old and has 100,000 miles on her"

You spin and wear out four tires instead of two on snow slilck roads.

You've learned the true difference between AWD and 4WD, and that AWD isn't worth a crap in the snow or on ice.

On snow, I can easily spin all 4 wheels. Effortless. Loosing the back end is even easier.

I've got 4 new all season tires with less than 100 miles on them(yokohama). It's a bit better than when I had bald tires on I guess. Not like a 4 wheel drive by any means.

I often have to drive in very bad conditions because I work in the mountains at high altitude, so it's easy for me to be overly critical, even though I don't mean to be.

...you make up reasons to go places to give you an excuse to drive

...you think people are giving you a dirty look at a stop light when in fact they're checking out your car.
