It's literally the swiss army knife of cars. It does everything, and totally suits her needs. So I totally get the appeal.

Yeah, I think that's kinda why badly wanted to get back into an AWD. Driving and weaving around strugglers during a snow storm is so satisfying. Having to constantly play with the throttle to keep the wheels from spinning too much and losing speed to try and pass strugglers is boring.
I get what you mean about the AWD boring fast. There's a special sense of satisfaction you get from surviving a white knuckle drive. I was on the highway a few months ago and I asked my wife if I should slow down. "Why?" she asked. "I'm doing 160." she had no clue. That was hilariously satisfying as well. The car is as stable at 170-180 as my van at around 120-130. It's not as exciting in the summer, but in the winter it's a blast.
Glad to see your GG 666 beast is doing great.
