I am not sure that this is always true Tegger. I lived for several years in
North Dakota. They had very cold winters. The state highways were not
salted, at least where I lived next to the Canadian border. I would drive
South to Minot and have good traction with my CRV. As soon as I came into
Minot, the roads were salted and were suddenly slippery.
I was always happy to get out of Minot and onto hard frozen roads where I
had traction. This may be simply a characteristic of the cold winters in ND
Driving on icy roads when it is -20 means much better traction than when it
is +20.

<major snippage. Either read the original post or the article>
One dealer (a little more convenient to drop the car) wants to do a
lot more. The other (the one I bought the car, my second Honda from
them) said "A1, sure, it includes <this and that>" Which is what the
manual said. "We can also do <add on> for $ and <another> for $, if
you want." Well, is a little hassle worth the difference? Hell yeah,
because not only is it less, but they're honest about it.
And they did give me the ride across town, althouth I did need a
neighbor to get a ride back. But she also bought her Accord from
them.
