OK.. first.. I didn't watch the whole thing.. couldn't bear it.. but I did view quite a few snippets throughout. The stupid is sooo strong in the title, and it got stronger and stronger during the video.
You'd love to try this out at some point? Like it's some grand adventure? Dude, this is my everyday commute four months out of the year, and that's not a snowstorm, that's a coating/flurry compared to what we get.
"RWD in a Snowstorm - Are we Crazy?" - No.. but definitely no knowledge of capitalization conventions. This has been said so many times throughout these forums, but heck.. I'll say it again. RWD is GREAT in the snow.. emminently more controllable and predictable than FWD. Yes, it takes a bit more skill at first and you need to learn a few things rather than FWD's "point, press, and pray" method, but it works, and it works great; I would argue it works much BETTER than FWD. In FWD, when you lose traction you lose drive and steering simultaneously. In RWD, you don't lose your steering (unless you screw up and stomp on the brakes. Even then, the antilock brake system will probably save your stupid rump). Soo.. go ahead. Choose. No drive and no steering, or you get to keep your steering? Hmmmmmm
Folks drove RWD through snow for many, MANY decades. No, the folks in the video aren't crazy.. just ignorant.
They might as well release a video, "Conversing Face-to-face withOut Texting -- are We crazy?"
Sheeeeeesh..
Sorry... but this thread is driving me crazy.. I should probably stop reading it. The other post near the top of this page put me in a bad mood... another "Your happiness is the only thing that matters" post. Fall in love ... marry the love of your life... have a child..... maybe even find a really good friend... and tell me if you still feel the same way. Selfish assholes. Live long enough, and you'll find that about the only thing that makes you TRULY happy is helping other people.
It'd probably be best not to vent, I guess. I don't like conflict, and sure don't think I have the right to tell anyone how to live. Just breaks my heart to see such an increasing amount of "me, me, me" in the world ("Look at my selfie"... "Don't I look hot?".. 20 years ago, anyone would have been embarassed as hell to even have that thought, much less voice it or post it) and I figure it'll only get worse if it's not pointed out occasionally.
sigh.. and this didn't even make me happy...
