RWD and 4WD cause your rear end to break loose, which isn't as safe.
That hasn't happened to me yet, and I almost went into a ditch taller than me because of understeer. I turned the wheel, but the jeep didn't turn.

I don't even know why the heck people think they "NEED" 4wd if they live in a big city!!!! They friggen keep the roads clear once it starts snowing for crying out loud!!!

I think it's us rural people and country people who need it. Do you think the town will be able to afford snow plows if it can't even afford a police station? not a chance.

We have to wait for our snow to melt, sometimes it takes days, sometimes weeks, and it's usually 8"+

If you come here, 75% of the vehicles are trucks, yet 75% of the vehicles on the side of the road, are either mini-vans, or old people in buicks/chevy impala's. the rest are a mix of cars, trucks, and SUV's.

We've got a bunch of jeep guys. Towing is available 10miles away, or you could call one of our jeep friends to pull you out for free. It's a pretty sweet deal (the jeeps here are all lifted with mudders and winches. Some with snorkels too

The river here gets flooded alot, and so do the roads near the river (the levee broke one time and we had to sandbag. The levee is about 25 feet above the roads) . Some of the Jeepers find a road where it is in between 2 hills and, with the doors off, ride through the flooded areas, which is funny, because the water gets over the hood sometimes.

Well enough off topic-ness
