It was funny to see all the 4x4 stuck today. Why the hell do 4x4 owners think they get better traction on ice?

Yup, 4x0 is still 0. My VW CC traction control did great today. I was at work by 7am, no problems.

That's cause you pussies think 2" is some kind of real snow. lmao
Try living somewhere you actually get significant snow that's not plowed for a week and see how your toy cars do.
Not that there aren't enough nitwits around here who can't drive with 4wd any better than the can with 2.

Thats because the real problem with driving in the snow isn't the going part... it's the stopping part. Another basic law of physics that no one seems to grasp around here is momentum. If you keep it when going up snow covered hills, you won't lose traction and let gravity take over.

If someone got stuck in this little piss ass snow, they need to buy a horse.

Not gravity, try again.

In that ice storm a couple weeks back, all three vehicles that I saw had spun into the guard rails of 66 were SUVs.

I drove truck for 30 years in the snow states of the northeast and Midwest. I laugh every time I hear about how well folks drive in snow in those areas.
Total and absolute BULLSHIT! The morons fill the ditches there too.
Fact is, probably 90% of the drivers in this whole fucking country can't drive in ANY kind of conditions.

Props to you, I have no idea where they find drivers these days, a thankless job. I frequently drive on 81 and see people cut the trucks off all the time, pull right out in front of them.
