I love it!
A quote from the linked site:
"$50000 for your Hummer H2
$300 for your custom H2 license plate
$450 to fill up your H2 with GAS @ $1.89/gal & 9 mpg
Pictures of your Hummer H2 on the internet being rescued by a 20 year old Jeep from a 12" stump in a parking lot beside a port-a-jon for all the internet to see
$PRICELESS$"
Shows once again the typical idiocy of the typical SUV driver.
Unfortunately, this was a VERY MILD case of it.
A few weeks back, I was driving home from the Pocono mountains in PA. I was in my GF's integra, not the best snow car. I was taking it slow and careful, especially on hills, etc. A lot of others were doing the same.
But then you see the idiot SUV driver thinking that just because they have a truck and AWD, that they can go fast.
Well, the first one in my direction, an explorer, skidded off the road, fortunately only damaging itself. The next,a liberty, did a 180, smashed another innocent car, and ended up on the guardrail, completely smashed. A pickup truck skidded to an embankment in the middle of the road, and it was so steep, he as lucky he didnt flip all the way down it into the oncoming traffic. Another SUV, I forget which one it was, as it was in opposing traffic lost control, and caused 7, yes 7! cars to slip, slide, smash into one another and the guardrail.
It wasnt hard driving. There was a thin layer of snow, mostly gone from the road. There was ice in some spots, but careful driving and slow driving would have gotten everyone through safely.
So you said it right, just because you have 4wd doesnt mean you know how to use it. Those Jeep folks going to the camp surely know how to operate correctly, be safe, and Im sure can do some AMAZING wheeling. but those who have a 4wd system and actually use it off road comprice what, maybe 1% of the 4wd-owning populous?
I laugh when I see SUVs smashed in snowstorms. its sad, but I admit it.
