Re: Offroad and hills

A pal from Idaho once explained to me how "real" backwoodsmen went four wheeling. You put the truck in 2 wheel drive and go up into the mountains until you get stuck. Then you put it in 4 wheel drive, turn around and go back to the nearest saloon.

Dude, I'm just sayin'; no need to be so judgemental. Trust me diversity is a good thing, it's ok if folks don't goose step to your tune.

Sometimes I've been known to put the climate controls in a "red" mode to lock the engine on if I'm at a nasty intersection and don't want the lag on a left hand turn.
