On the flipside, we had a little incident just the other night out at the corner. Nasty hill comin' down to it, about 15% with a right hand curve before you get to the corner at the bottom.
So it was snowin' out and I see the red lights over at the corner and go to investigate and provide adult supervision.
There was a brand new (paperplates even) 4wd Durango up on its side and right athwart of the road. Most folks that lose it on that curve go straight and shoot off the outside of the curve and wind up in my neighbor's back field, sometimes rubber side down, sometimes not. I guess this gal got spinnin' before she ever got into the curve, as she went off the right, over the ditch and took out a light pole before finding her way back to the road where she flipped.
Luckily, nobody got hurt, but the driver was quite outraged that her 4WD was defective, because she knew she had it on, something that the trooper verified. (I can alnmost read the lawsuit!) Havin' it and not usin' it to get squared away is one thing. These drones that have it and think they can drive like they're on a dry road run me nuts. I think there is often a sticker on the sun-visor that explains that your 4WD vehicle has the same brakes as a 2WD, and one should not get carried away, and should exercise caution in conditions that require its use. I suppose as long as no one gets hurt I can laugh. Otherwise, I think it's pretty sad.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
