Why is it...

[Frosty]

...that people in 4x4 vehicles think that they can drive through ANYTHING?

There are 3 people in my parking lot right now stuck, the parking lot was plowed early this morning so needless to say there's at least a foot of snow AND ice underneath....

Not to mention one is danger close to the GTA trying to get up the hill. :mad:

I'm about to go out there with a hockey stick and beat him with it if he gets any closer.

It should be legal to kill stupid people.

[LTb1ow]

Ha, there was a big postal truck outside my room this morning... just spinning and spinning...

[WildBillyT]

Not to mention how many people in 4x4s have regular passenger car tires on them.

[sweetbmxrider]

whats stupid is the people in vehicles not suited for this weather. i saw sooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuch sssssssssttttttuuuuuuuuuuppppppppiiiiiidddddd out tonight, it was a joke. if you aren't 4/all wheel drive then you shouldn't be out. i had a blast though ripped the roads upppp

Haha that thought goes thru my head from time to time. I say ship them all to montana so we don't have to deal with them as much.

i'm sure plenty of people didn't have a choice.

[69BirdX]

Regardless if you can move you still need to stop and 4wd isn't going to help there

[JL8Jeff]

It's because most 4wd vehicles have crappy street tires and they are really 2 wd with 1 front wheel and 1 rear wheel engaged. Without a locker or limited slip, most 4wd vehicles are severely handicapped and most people have no idea. I was explaining this to somebody at work and the look on his face was priceless. He has a fwd car and does better in the snow than most 4wd but he had no idea why they are as bad as they are.

Oh yeah, lots of people are stupid with no common sense as well.

[Tru2Chevy]

Meh.....I had no problems driving on 95 and Rt 1 this afternoon getting to work in my Jeep. I actually almost got run off the road by a minivan with NC plates on it doing 50+ up Rt 1 in Princeton.

BS, my Olds was fine. Saw a lot of camrys, accords, etc sliding all around though.

[BarneyMobile]

I been driving my mother's Toyota 4Runner and that things is an animal in the snow. I drove it out of an un-plowed parking lot with over 2 feet of snow and not one bit of wheel spin. Contrary to belief 4wd does stop better in the snow. 2wd vehicles tend to lock up 2 wheels in the snow, usually the front wheels first. Its harder to only lock up the front tire with 4wd engaged.

Very true, especially if your t-case has no viscous coupling.

[Tsar]

Caddy did just fine. I drove during the "storm" and after the plows re-dirtied my driveway. In either case Caddy won.

[GrandmasterCow]

i was out all day with my buddy in his evo. a 500hp evo handles wonderfully in the snow :)

ion > snow storm :nod:

[Nitr0racing21]

My saturn has yet to get stuck, its all in the driver, I am dead serious too

[bandit88]

i haven't had the beetle out in the snow this storm, but the last one i was pleasantly surprised by its performance..... def better than the cavi

[maroman88]

i got the jeep stuck on an unplowed cut thru street that slopes towards a creek that was already roughed up from people messing around too... i had my shovel and eventually got out lol, other then that the jeep had no problem on real roads

You are all pansies, I had the Solstice out in the snow yesterday. Went to Taco Bell and back

whats that about 600 feet?

my mom took my sister to work in the trailblazer, 5 minutes after they leave my phone rings and its...... "mike, how do you turn on 4 wheel drive?" ugh they didnt even make it a block, so i walked over and they had the snow higher than the front bumper.......

i knocked the snow off the bumper, turned stabilitrack off and tore right through with no issue......

btw... its got full time awd, no turning it on....... lol

[sweetbmxrider]

hahaha sweeeeet.


with 2wd/front wheel drive cars, if you hang the drive wheels you are screwed. thats what i was seeing and thats what aggravates me

[PolarBear]

whats that about 600 feet?



That and I was out before the second snow started :rofl:

[qwikz28]

I didn't get stuck in my Saturn, and that thing has passenger tires advertised for only "light snow." Even when plowed in by the trucks, it made it through without fuss. I guess Long Island got no where near as much as NJ

[Frosty]

I just pulled out the Tbird with no issues, I was surprised, traction control FTW.

Then again it does have a anemic 3.8 in it :rofl:

[V]

My Denali rocked in the snow upstate here, I had Blizzak snow tires and i pulled out dozen of vehicles which were stuck all around base. In 4lo, the thing was unstoppable. Between the size of the truck and the grip, i could crawl through some pretty big drifts with ease. Now with my jeep, i dont try anything crazy, i just do what i need to in order to get where i must. If i dont need to go out, i dont. But i do miss the Denali.

Right after christmas... I found out my SKY doesnt like 18" snowdrifts... never again

[91chevywt]

My jimmy is pretty nasty in the snow. The Mickey Thompson Baja Radial tires are awesome. I get on it a little going around a corner and the front wheels just pull the truck straight...barely gets sideways. Awesome tires in the snow

[band77one]

i got a 4x4 89 silverado. i dont even both shoveling/snow-blower-ing around it. 31x10.5 regular tires on it and i never have any problems. ever. im one of those 4x4 that passes people when they insist on doing 10 mph when the speed limit is 45. i really feel if people are that scared to drive out in the weather they need to stay the **** at home and not be out at all. not to mention all these people out in little cars or 2wd trucks/cars who think if they go 75mph they wont get stuck in the snow.

[T69SS]

I love my truck in the snow, i know its not invincible, but with 4x4, 3.73s and a limited slip it has not come close to getting stuck in snow yet

[CHRIS67]

I stayed home with my 4x4. No sense in risking bouncing off a guard rail or have rig run me off the road because they feel that they need to go 60 MPH in 12" of snow. :-x

[jts98z28]

my tempo is a beast in the snow for some reason, i went out sledding last night and came back around 10 with no problems

[deadtrend1]

I love how people have the "my **** is bigger then your **** because I get around without 4WD" attitude. Whoopidy doo!

I have many hours behind the wheel of F-Bodies and my 2WD Pickup in the snow. Only got stuck once (in the truck somehow, go figure). Does that mean F-Bodies handle snow just as well as a hummer?

I got a 4WD vehicle for beating around in the woods, I'm going to use it if I please in the snow. Why? Because I can. God Bless America D**NIT! :lol:

[NastyEllEssWon]

exactly tim. i remember cruising past stuck 4x4's in my old 86 in the snow. peg legged 305. man that car handled the snow like a beast.





on a side note...everyone i know or speak to with a saturn had no problem in the snow :nod:

[S.J.SLEEPER]

4wd dually FTW
I guess I'm 1 of those stupid people that think they can go anywhere w/4wd!!!

[deadtrend1]

4wd dually FTW
I guess I'm 1 of those stupid people that think they can go anywhere w/4wd!!!

I don't believe that I can go EVERYWHERE. But I sat at a green light this morning watching a E150 van slovenly cross the intersection, spinning tires in the slush/snow and ice.

I'm not saying I'm invincible, but it helps.

[Wolfblitz]

There is a mark where i watched a Hummer H2 slam into a snow bank, was very entertaining. Guy got out yelling and screaming, and i just laughed ....then felt bad and helped.

[BonzoHansen]

It's not about going. It's about stopping! Or lack thereof. Too many people feel since they can go they can stop.

[deadtrend1]

Very true,

I downshift to engine brake and hit the brakes lightly early.

[BonzoHansen]

Now, in my truck 4wd seems to help me stop in the crappy stuff, probably for that very same reason. But that is regular stopping, not uh-oh stopping form 50 mph

Ford Tough Plows!

[LTb1ow]

I dug out my car tonight, my dad shoveled the entire driveway and half the front lawn but "forgot" to dig the 5 foot pile of snow in front of my car...:rofl:

[S.J.SLEEPER]

Ford Tough BLOWS!

fixed

[Czop418]

My Durango Handles Pretty well in the snow. I parked my Durango in my dead end which doesn't get plowed and everybody told me i would need to shovel it out dismorning. Put it in 4 low and plowed through 3 1/2 feet with no problem. :)

He probably figured you have a switch for that!

[SilverDropTop]

I love driving my Denali in the snow, takes it like a champ. AWD donuts FTW!

[miketa95]

unplowed snow > silverado

[Mark B]

My AWD Sierra C3 handle the snow like a champ. No problems at all.

However, like somebody said earlier... 4WD/AWD doesnt matter as much if you know how to drive in the snow. But having it sure is nice.
