I've just got home from a trip to the local large warehouse style hardware store [ insert a brand here if you feel more comfortable], and it inspired me to write things that shit me #6- 4WDs.
Perhaps I should clarify- the cars themselves are machines, and for that I direct them no malice. It's more the total arsehats who tend to own them, and the manner in which they use them.
I am definitely going to be visiting this topic again, because as I start to write, I can already feel it evolving in a multidirectional rant, but for today I'll start another list- things which you do NOT need a 4wd for:
1- carrying garden tools or even slightly larger items home from you local hardware store. I quite easily fit my 80kgs of concrete into my '97 Corolla along with various other implements, plants and other things I inevitably walk out of those store with despite what my intended items to purchase initially were.
2- "ease of parking" well it has 4 wheels which can steer at once and have varying traction abilities, but your average well maintained, tarred suburban parking lot needs neither of these functions. Could I suggest that if you have difficulty getting into and out of the parking spaces you should try either of the following things as an alternative:
a- Get a smaller car. somewhat unremarkably the smaller body size makes it easier to fit into smaller spaces and has a smaller turning circles etc BECAUSE IT'S SMALLER.
b- If you are unable to park your vehicle, perhaps try GETTING OFF THE ROAD you total moron and stop ruining it for those of us who are competent!
