Though any public transportation would be welcome in my neck-of-the-woods. There is bus service in the nearby city and a trolley that runs up to the resort areas in the summer, but here there is nothing, only a few miles away.

I gotta 4WD Dakota that gets me up and down the driveway in the winter and a 6SP 2L VW, 2007, to get me around New England when the snow melts.

There was a terrific local grocery just down the road which did a great business, but since they closed a few years back there's nothing but a gas station/convenience store. It's only a few miles, but with the winter weather, it's sometimes tough to get out at all. Our first snowstorm of the season left 34 inches (closed everything down) so the giant snowbanks make driving treacherous, too.
