I've had both 2 WD and 4 WD. When I had 2 WD there were times that I wish it were 4 WD. Not often but there were those times. When I had 4 WD I never thought "I wish this was only 2 WD."
Using anedotal stories like "I saw this guy coming at me sideways on the highway. Guess what he was driving? Yup, a 4X4." Straw argument and actually just plain silly. Doesn't prove anything and toally lacks any reasoning. Plenty of people have gone sideways driving 2 WD. It's trying to equate that losing control is caused by a 4 WD. Doesn't show that at all. A knucklehead who overdrives a 4 WD are the same knuckleheads who overdrive a 2 WD. If that argument was true then the ditches would be full of 4 WD and 2 WD vehicles would be cruising on down the road. Doesn't happen.
