The 4X4 driver:
"I have FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, I can go anywhere! Hold my beer and watch this! Besides, I have a WENCH, I can WENCH myself out if need be!"
(actually, he means WINCH, but whatever...)
Then, since there is nothing to hook the cable to, and he left his land anchor in the garage, and the BLM won't allow him to dig a hole for it anyway, he sits and waits for another 4X4 to come along and pull him out.
Yeah, I have seen it...
HA! That is about the size of it. Brute power & ignorance wins the day. It is amazing where a driver of 2WD manual shift & knows how to use clutch can go. For over 40 years I never had an automatic. Nothing but Front WD & RWD. Got into many iffy situations. Never needed a tow.
I carry a tow rope. Actually it is 2000# breaking load boat anchor line. Never needed it. Hope that if the day ever comes when help is needed I don't get some lead footed cowboy with 4WD who applies maximum power on the first try rather than stepping up slowly to what is needed.
