hating winter is independent of my hybrid... I hated winter when I had a 4 wheel drive vehicle too In fact, I've hated it ever since I stopped getting snow days!

 

OMG! Sorry to threadjack, but I took that ATC test too many years ago when I was 19. I hope you studied a bit. I went in under the notion that this test was simply to evaluate ones innate ability with logic and deductive reasoning, where one really can't "study-up".

It is kind of like that... but they use very ATC-like icons, symbols and imagery that most of us have never seen before and they ask you to make sense of the situation.

I did poorly on that test. And I normally do quite well challenging tests.

Do you have MIL/ATC experience?

 

Whereabouts in Boston? I'll be staying in Brookline.

 

No, none.

I did take the ASVABs (I was 19 too!) and I got a 98 on them. I haven't really studied, as I've read there's no "real" study guide, but I've looked over sample test questions. Nothing seems too horribly difficult? I'm kind of weird though, I read books about aircraft and air transportation, so I know just what I've read. My major in college was meteorology, but I was more interested in aviation. I hope I pass, I'm spending 25,000 frequent flyer miles to get down there!!!

 

When I get back on the 28th I'm going to be like right near you then! I'm visiting my friend who lives across from Brigham & Women's hospital!

 

I'm Somerville-y myself. Across the river, close to Harvard Square really...

 

Well, look for a silver TCH with Ontario plates, around the Marriot Courtyard Boston Brookline (Beacon and Harvard) - chances are it'll be me.

 

Good chance I'll be around there on the 28th as well.

 

if you see a suspicious looking gray TCH with NY plates parked a few cars away from yours, that'll be me

 

I have run Nokians on all my cars (Acura and Jeep) and now the TCH. I use the Nokian WR's and they do great in the snow and ice and do very well in the off-winter periods. I live in upstate New York. No excessive wear and the mileage has been very good. I took the TCH down to Texas over the summer (2000 miles each way) and on the highway, the TCH averaged 39-42 mpg. I run the tires at 35 psi, rotate them every 5000-6000 miles and balance them once a year. The WR's are all seasons tires, but are rated for the winter (has the 'snow flake and mountain' emblem). Have fun in Boston.
