    Aight, seems like you’ve been through a lot, I was going to say how unecological and pathetic it is to buy big 4x4 to drive in cities, but you’re probably one of the few people that has a real use for it, plus you didn’t buy it. Glad it served you well. I still hate most bmw drivers… Toxic pieces of trash that believe their time is more valuable than everyone else

      Yeah that ain’t me. I live deep in the Appalachian mountains and driving anything but a 4x4 here would 100% result in being trapped in the winter.

      Well, not so bad these days I guess with the lack of snow compared to the years before.

      Still though, I can’t imagine crossing these mountains in the winter with anything but a 4x4. As a matter of fact, I was stuck multiple times back before I got one. I slept crashed against a guardrail in a 2001 Grand AM one night in 2008. Fortunately I had filled the car up at the bottom of the mountain and I was able to keep warm.

      My stepdad came looking for me around 5 AM when my ex woke up and realized I wasn’t home. He pulled me out and I slowly took the car back down the mountain and parked it at that store.

      I didn’t have a cell phone back the man. Wouldn’t matter today though. There’s still no cell service from the top of that mountain to 40 miles out from it.
