    Ok I see.

    Then it was a typo = "real wheel drive".

    With all the front wheel drive vehicles available today, you always need to specify if your 2WD is a front or rear wheel drive. There is a big difference.

    Whatever 2WD drive-wheels are under the engine will get the best traction.

    The front wheel drives generally get better traction because the wheels are "pulling" the vehicle not "pushing" it. Pushing it tends to cause spin-outs and fish-tails.

    My Jeep is a 3WD even though it is called a 4WD. It only has a locker on the rear axle.

    Plus you have the weight of the engine with front wheel drive. The trucks we have are 4WD and we actually will throw snow in the back at times for added weight.

    Not good to take extra insulin to compensate for eating too much of what you are not supposed to eat. One day it will catch up to you and it will be uh-oh time.

    My dogs don't sit at the table but they think they should eat what we eat. If they are on the porch their noses are glued to the door looking in and barking.

    Maybe once in awhile but if you take insulin to help with a problem, it is best to take it as directed and not to suit your whims.

    In this I agree wholehardidly.My first front wheel drive car was
    one of my favorites.It made it thru snow with ease.Was sporty
    { had a manual } and good cornering.
    Nothing like a an Evo.Which is a rally car winner.
    They stopped production of the Evo a couple years ago.
    I first heard about Evo's in the early 2000's.The first *run in
    2003 had a markup of $ 9,ooo.Kinda like the BMW M-4.
    I was able to go for a test drive along with 2 salesman.
    I had never been in a car that could turn on a dime.
    In 2005 that same dealer had a model that was w/o the spoiler
    and they needed to sell it.One test drive and I was hooked.
    It had like 12 miles on it.I don't like buying a new car with any
    miles.When I got home after buying I decided to check the tire
    pressure.Every tire was right around 50 psi.They should be
    in the 32-34 psi range.The reason was that Japan shipped them with
    high tire pressure to keep the tires from going out of round if sitting.
    The Evo is made in only one little factory.It has all reinforced undercarriage.
    Mostly Aluminum.It's twice as rigid as a Mitsubishi Lancer.
    The engine is as bulletproof as they get.Which is why street racers
    go bonkers over them.They a hell of a car.

    * Didn't make it stateside until 2003.Even though many car
    enthuthiasts were begging for it.Which explained the $ 9,ooo
    markup on a $ 35,ooo car.

    That's the kind of Puffy,fluffy Head on a glass of beer those like
    W.C.Fields were probably accoustomed.No matter his preference was
    Gin and a squeeze of lemon or orange.
    I'd give up drinking entirely if all there was is Gin.
    It's what ruined Jack Lemmon in - Days of Wine and Roses - { 1962 }

    Both of our vehicles are 4X4 chevys. I have a 2500 HD Silverado duramax and she has a 1500 suburban. My truck sucks in the snow. The Diesel engine makes it front heavy and the torque hits hard when the turbo begins to spoil up. I’ve filled the bed with snow for weight and that helps but in a couple days you have a block of ice banging around back there when you start and stop. Suburban is a champ. The weight balance is great and a more steady throttle response makes a big difference. A lot of Subaru cars where I live and they do great in a few inches. 12-16” and they are stranded.
