This is perfectly understandable - if one is a drag racer or a NASCAR driver. |

I like rear wheel drive because it is much simpler than front wheel drive. The differential and one or two universal joints. If I permanently lived in 'snow country' no doubt I would own a four wheel drive vehicle, with a really good heater. I have lived in Indiana (1947) and Montana (1956) and Kansas (1957) and Illinois (1963) I think I know 'snow country' |

I've changed the clutches on several cars - all of them were RWD. My guess is that FWD cars don't don't need to have their clutch changed because they have better drivers. |

It's a different story when you take tiles from a Spanish tile roof to make planters. |

Hurricane Katrina blew ten asphalt roof shingles off of the top of my house, and three trees down/across my street, and millions of some kind of strange looking insects into town, a lot of peoples' cars grills were covered with those insects, people escaping from Hurricane Katrina. Big old pecan tree in my front yard, the trunk of that tree was 'dancing' like mad. I live 140 miles North of the Gulf Coast. My Australian Blue Heeler doggy, she slept completely through that Hurricane. |
