It would cost you four times as much in tires doing four wheel burn outs all the time.

Here's the only time I could have used 4x4. Wet grass. Neighbor's 4 wheeler was a lot cheaper than having 4x4.

The only reason I have one is because of this white crap that falls from the sky when it's cold.

Only reason I have 4x4 is because of the winters here.

Severe Thunder Storms all night and Tornado warnings until 9. Hit some quarter size hail on the way home from work, it covered the road up pretty good. It's also like a monsoon out side!

Some of us don't like to burn tire until it melts through the ice to get traction though.
