A roommate once mentioned his grandfather who would pull stuck 4x4s with his 2wd truck.

On one trip in the last year or two, I was driving home from my parents' house when I hit a bad snow storm. Everything was fine, then I turned a corner, and everything was covered in snow, and vehicles were crawling. I tried to gently brake, but started skidding. I really should have pulled over, but wondered if my chance of being hit by someone else while parked was almost as high as losing control and hitting something. Two cars had lost control and crashed. It seemed like I could get out of the storm faster than it would end, so I carefully continued.

I think that I was driving the Forester. I was not impressed with the AWD. I was once stuck in snow, too. I just tried to pull over to micturate.
