When I lived up there, we didn’t even have tires. I drove around on the steel wheels.

Sometimes they had too much traction, so I’d hose them down at night and drive on the frozen donuts that remained.

Mid-winter in the “snow-belt”, driving uphill both to and from the lumberjack job on wheels made of ice: THAT is character.
