Yeah, but in the context of my initial post is that these jerks are
shooting by at 50mph when the road conditions are suitable for no more
than 30mph.

These people have the false assumption that, with 4WD, they are immune
to accidents.  Or, they have weighed the risk and decided that their
time is more important than the safety of others.

Personally, I love taking the Durango out on a freshly-snowed county
road.  Ahhh.  To be the first one to take that snowy road's virginity.

Damn the luck though, now my Durango won't shift out of first gear. :(

But, I get a Geo Metro would be fun in a snowy parking lot!

Whoa, wait a minute. LIke Nick said, 4WD isn't the end-all-be-all for
snow, but it is certainly better than 2WD, and not all 4 tires spin on
snow.  That why you have differentials and limited-slip, power transfer,
etc.  The whole reason for 4WD or AWD is just that, have 4 wheels that
can provide grip, then give the power to those wheels that can use it
the most.  It's a hell of a lot easier to control a 4WD vehicle than any
2WD one.

Sorry, Larry, but this statement sounds like one made from a guy who
drives a Geo Metro.

That being said, I don't advocate jackasses driving like they have a
sno-cat under them.  That's unacceptable.  However, 4WD is much safer
than 2WD in the snow.
