Hey guys, I drive a 4x2 truck, and I really want to hit up baker tomorrow.  I would drive your subaru, but that shitter has been devouring oil so I am leaning towards taking my truck.  I have 150 lbs of sandbags in the back.  What do you think, will I make it. 

PS  I have chains, but I really would rather not stop in the middle of the road and fuck up traffic.

well I went up to snoqualmie today which sucked btw.  The roads were compact snow and ice, and my truck had absolutely no problems thank god.  Except when we wanted to leave the parking lot, I had to put fucking chains on, I wasn't going anywhere, I am so confused.  And trust me I know how to drive in the snow, its just like I had no chance.  I might get a set of snow tires.  I guess they are supposed to make a huge difference.
