Her trick to not breaking traction, ease the gas pedal from a stop, let off the gas when turning, allow plenty of space from the vehicle ahead of her AND (even though it's an auto) know those other options on the gear selector are there for a reason. Auto or manual trans, knowing how to use your transmission for braking / slowing down is something few drivers have a clue on.

If it's real bad we stay home or use the 4 x 4 and still drive the same. It's not how much better one vehicle is over the other in snow, they all stop the same if you need to HIT THE BRAKES, shitty.
Not at all what I was saying, I was more less using that reference for the 500hp, 2wd super truck on street tires.

I'm very familiar with engine braking, using your gears when it's slick (even in an auto), etc etc, but nobody is going to convince me, that with equally skilled and cautious drivers, that a 2wd is better than a 4wd in the slick stuff. Obviously when it comes to stopping it's a non issue.

This feels like Dejavu, I'm sure we've discussed this here on the forum before lol.
