Completely disconnected from the house. They had to climb out a passenger window. Doors would not open.

He was confused. Said he had four wheel drive on. Did not understand why he could not keep it on the road. A fireman gave him a funny look and walked away. Obviously as a 4x4 driver, he did not understand.

Amazing how many 4x4 drivers just know they have more control. Because advertisng tells them to know. When confronted by reality (wheels so fighting each other to even increase tire wear), four wheel drive owners only deny. And post no facts. Just silly comments such as Bruce's. Also called wasted bandwidth.

He took out a front porch that was across the front of that house. The homeowner has just refurbished that porch this summer.

He was in four wheel drive. A moving four wheel drive obviously has less traction and control. He could not even steer away from the parked car. He was using four wheel drive. It gets you started. And creates decreased stability and controls. But many know othewise because advertising and emotion says otherwise.
