well its about that time of year again.....
if you have 4wd and and don't use it in these conditions you're an idiot and I hate you.
i dont' care how good of a driver you are, how many accidents you haven't been in, or <insert excuse here> if i see another fracking truck spinning its tires at an intersection becasue they're too cool for 4wd, i will lose it. if you don't notice, wheelspin creates heat: heat creates melting snow. snow creates ice.
so azzpirates that spinout like that at intersections just slick it up for everyone else. Thanks. your macho 'i'm cool and don't need 4wd" ego is highly unappreciated.
same with people running summer tires still on cars and not winters. next time you 'cant' get through an intersection, because you're spinning, i might just give you a nudge to get ya going.......
also don't feel like hearing the driveline debate or gas mileage debate. its all BS and not worth other peoples time or safety.
Pick me pick me. I’d be one of those that choose not to use 4x4 just for icy, snowy conditions.
I’ve had 4x4’s for 35 years now. Wife’s daily driver (Unlocked 4x4), my work truck (Unlocked 4x4) and all others also never go into 4x4 until absolutely necessary. Haven’t seen the conditions yet that justify that this season. 4x4 takes all the fun out of hitting corners and fish tailing.
I don’t however use a cell phone and do 80KM’s per hour as lead vehicle and no one around me on Deerfoot. Those people should get off of Deerfoot. People in general that are afraid of ice and snow on the road should leave their vehicles at home and call a cab.
After all our cabbie’s are so much better at driving in these conditions. Hahaha
Having it in 4x4 for everyday use just gives people the over confidence.
I could care less about fuel economy, but I do hate repairing drive train more than the person using 4x4 all the time.
Hate away if you feel you must.
