My GP does better than a lot of trucks out there lol.
My truck in 2 wheel with give or take 150lbs centered in bed. It gets around better than my car did.

i would snow plow in 2 wheel drive up to 4 inches. still got around better then most trucks, cars had no chance of keeping up with me. damn truck was rather unstoppable.

So many people should not have licenses based on this.Quote:

As for my thoughts on ABS and the like, check the last 3 threads on the topic which I'm sure the same people have all posted in.
My only update is, I have electronic brake proportioning now. That system requires a functioning ABS system. It has yet to let me slide through an intersection.
Quality of the ABS system plays a big role here as well.
I agree - if you can't control a car on ice and snow, you shouldn't be driving. All I'm saying is that I've never had issues with my car and the ABS system kicking in. The 2 times it's kicked in on mine were on black ice conditions, and the car stayed arrow straight on the road instead of going into a braking skid and dumping me into the ditch, and stopped the car maybe 10 feet farther than what it would have if it were dry. Granted, when it's snowy/icy, I drive much more slowly, and kinda coast into stop lights/signs to avoid the brake pedal as much as possible, but still - I've never had issues controlling my car.

no issues here, plowing the streets of milwaukee.
I've never went sideways due to lack of ABS. The only people that do are morons that don't know how to drive.Quote:

I had my fair share of snow yesterday
So if you can control your car, might as well disable ABS if you REALLY know how to drive. That way you won't stop way too late from abs, and you wont go sideways since we know how to drive.Quote:

Yay made it to #5. My claims are slightly validated.
lol...I lived north of Detroit until I was about 13, then moved to the Cleveland area until I graduated from college...do I get bonus points for living in 2 of the 5 cities?
let me add this any city in alaska is a city you don't want to live in. let me explain: -32˚F is hot in winter, its dark half the year and nature will kill you with animals, quick mud(its real go look it up), and glassur cracks.Quote:
