Am gonna guess thon Nissan yoke is BWD and something nobody wants to chance in the snow unless pharmaceutically aware of the challenge. First motor I owned in the US was a Jeep Cherokee and I was a mental mess. My uncle coulda claimed like $500 tax back but gave it to me instead.
The Explorer is gottabe 4WD. Last auto I drove was years before lockdown.
I wasn't raised in America or Canada but I was raised amongst legends where parental responsibility involved kids trying to protect their own kids from an all-encompassing milieu. You never really appreciate your parents until you're laughing your way out of a hole. But while they raised us to resist it was all they knew how to do. Some clans were miles ahead of me and others are still catching up. Many never will. All I can say is stand yer fuckin ground. If you have anything they have been trying to take it from your clan for centuries. If you're going to be the one who stands up they will bring you've ever done against you so engage the best legal representation to explain why you have the right to resist the bollocksology
Sorry DILLIGAF you'll never understand the demands of an imaginary choir until you feel you have to preach to them. Would imagine it's built into the weed et al.
People like me inadvertently profile others. Shouldn't be anywhere near the internet cos I'm too honest in my opinions. Those who comment positively on or like my contribution are noticed and profiled.
I'm not on here to get likes but to encourage people to think.
And should anyone think I'm fullashite I welcome the discussion.
Not a problem pal
We're all guilty of talking shite at times, and giving our opinions whether people agree or not, we can all respect our right to at least have them to spout
As for the 4X4 SUV, my wife has a Jeep, they're great
This Explorer is my 4th, all bought second hand, and worked on by me, and my boys
This one has been in the family since 2004-2005, and I'm happy it's stayed with us, it literally goes anywhere
I, like many others, have gotten a call in the wee small hours of the morning, saying "Can I get a ride home Dad ?"
One Friday night/Saturday morning, my daughter called me, she had a Honda Del Sol, wee sports car, lowered and blinged up to the max, but it was useless in the snow
She was at a party out in the valley and they had a dump of snow, and she couldn't get her car out of the driveway, of where the party was
I had a '92 Chevy Silverado 4X4, see pic, loved that truck, and it was lifted a few inches and it was a beast, I loved driving it in the snow, so off I go out into the blizzard, and bring her home
I never let it bother me, as they were all told not to drive with anyone who was DUI, or hesitate to call when they needed us
My wife and I couldn't sleep if one of them wasn't home when we went to bed, unless we knew they were sleeping over at a friends
As for where any of us grew up, I had a great upbringing, loving family and never felt poor, or any less of a person than anyone else around me, as we were all in the same boat
There was a sense of Community and we all looked after each other, and moreso, those who were most in need
You can only hope that your kids grow up with the same ideals and outlook, which thankfully, I can say they have
I'm an auld bastard now, and I couldn't fight sleep, but standing up for myself was ingrained in me by my Dad and Grandfather, it's in our DNA, and while I am 'on the back nine' the fire still burns, and from time to time, that wee Greenock boy comes to the fore, the accent gets thicker and it's the same for all of us the world over, Irish or Scottish
Who dare mess wi us ?
