Reason: Vulgar language
Not gonna say anyone is a *****, but I have to agree, I think it's ridiculous to use 4 wheel in the rain! And it does use alot more gas and is unsafe if you make a hard turn. Not to mention the damage to the axles on a hard turn as mentioned previously.

+1. seriously, who uses 4x4 in the rain?
Unless the roads are floaded and you are drivng up to your rocker panels... you best be in 2wd!!! LOL
thank you i totally agree the only time i ever use 4x4 is if im in deep mud or plowing snow other then that 2wd, if you know how to drive u hardly need 4x4 and hell im 18 that doesnt mean ****, ive been driving since i was 11 and even then i didnt have problems, mind you i still do stuiped **** but so does my dad and uncles, just because your older doesnt mean you cant have fun as they always say
4wd or AWD with studded snow tires even on ice can be tricky. Its not a cure all. Im fortunate to live in snow country where studded tires are legal. I see enough out of towners with there big old AWD SUV and they think can 45 on a snow covered road. Then they try to stop or they lose control. Pretty funny to watch actually from a safe vantage point
Keep in mind that I just picked up my RAM last week. The road conditions were icy and it was a mix of rain, sleet and ice. This is my first 4X4 and all I wanted to do is try it out.
I'm not a *****, and if you saw me you wouldn't say it to my face without suffering consequences
