  Big wheels with skinny tires

I live less than 2 hours west of DC and I never go there unless Im just passing through to get to I95 or something. The traffic anywhere east of Frederick is idiotic. I know that people go to DC and Baltimore to work for the money but you couldnt pay me enough to get near that area, and I LIKE driving,

  Big wheels with skinny tires

Ive got a funny story about an X5. I wont go into it totally except to say that he showed up to one of our off-road events to run the trails. He saw everyone airing down their tires and was asking people how much air he should take out of his 40 series tires. No one would touch that one considering that one of his wheels was worth more than most of our vehicles.

On the subject of driving a 4X4 on ice/snow. Here is how I explained it to my wife when we got our Jeeps. The benefit of 4X4 in slick conditions isnt that you can go faster, it allows you to go slower and still keep moving. You need less momentum to keep moving if youve got more traction. As for all those idiots flying down the icy interstate, dont bother trying to flag my Jeep down 10 minutes later to pull you out of a ditch, youre wasting your time. I dont mind helping people but at some point you need to let Darwin take over.
