[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 1959622, member: 21076"] Sounds like good advice! Having grown up in a rural area ages ago where 4x4 farm trucks were king, I made my way around in a Pontiac T1000 (think Chevette). The people with 4 wheel drive were always saying they had 4 wheel drive so the ice made no difference to them. They just didn't fathom that 4 wheel drive or not ice is slippery and you need to drive with some common sense, the 4 wheel drive will really only help you out once you go off the road and need to get out of the ditch. So one late night (2am-ish) I was headed home on a back country road covered in a sheet of ice. I am crawling along around 20 to 25mph when I see some headlights off in what looks like the field. I slow down and sure enough, 4x4 farm truck way off in the field after having mis-negotiated a turn. So here I am in my rear wheel drive car giving this guy a ride home since his truck is stuck out in the field.... LOL [/QUOTE]
