Ten Stupid Things men do...

Ten Stupid Things men do...
...to mess up their four wheel drive

• 1 ignoring wheel cheat
(men know - friends are important -- tires are good friends - treat them well)
• 2 using too much speed or power
(many times, faster than too slow is too fast)

• 3 steering at standstill
(power steering is a wonderful tool to break tie rods etc)

• 4 using the clutch the same way as on pavement
(if you don't know what "starting in gear" means and you still use the clutch to regulate speed - see "A smart thing some men do" below )

• 5 following one's gut feeling
(most likely it'll be wrong - humans have no genetic imprint for driving cars yet)

• 6 straddling obstructions
(men should know - they would not take anything high between their legs either)

• 7 rushing through water
(humans want to rush away from danger and get in trouble in the process)

• 8 keeping thumbs in steering wheel
(bruised or broken thumbs really hurt)

• 9 hanging head out of window
(makes you "feel" you are in control - but you'll miss potential danger on the other side)

• 10 using 4WD after getting stuck
(now that is really stupid!)

Number 11 should really be added. Its so true, happened to me

so many times. A funny topic but very education too. Good one Khaiwi.

Oh yeah, Number 12, don't stop on a side slope especially when you know someone's right behind you doing the same crazy thing. hint hint hint Iguano.

Number 12:
leave the car without engaging the handbrake
Number 13
Leave the car when crested while the (auto)gear is still engaged and the wheels are turning..... (we have pics showing this..)
