I guess it's not sensible to own a car with AWD?
I guess it's not sensible to buy an SUV even if it has decent fuel economy?
You don't seem to have a clue what you're talking about.Quote:

Does your intelligence level wane as it gets later or does it consistently remain scant all day?
You aren't even rodding, ffs, although I treat it all the same.
Keep posting. You're burying yourself.
Nothing more to post.Quote:

It's funnny when there's the really bad snow falls and you see people with 4x4 SUVs driving with 2 wheel drive (you can tell :P).:lol:Quote:

The reason: He didn't like how high the truck sat.:dry:
When we had a big snowfall his ass got stuck numerous times on his way home.
Fucking embarassing.:lol: :lol: :lol:
On a side note:
I'm finally missing the snow, which is why I picked this time to be off for teh surgered knee.
It snowed a couple days ago....a lot.
Tomorrow it's supposed to be 60 degrees. :huh:

I have rairly seen a condition in my 18 years here in montana that would require a good driver to engage 4x4 on pavement. The times I have seen usually involve leaving the paved surface involentarly (no, having 4x4 engaged would not have helped), and 4x4 might get you on the road without a towtruck. however, if all four tires (or even one front tire and one back tire due to open diffs) are on the same surface that 2wd couldn't get you off of, 4x4 won't help. Learn to drive in snow before you decide that you need a 4x4 crutch. Remember, usually, the 2wd version of a truck will be lighter, get better gas milage, have better acceleration, better stopping, better handling, and be cheaper to work on. if your tires don't touch dirt, go with the 2wd and throw some sand in the back in the winter (same for a 4x4).
