Years ago I once hit black ice, during a snowstorm, on the NYS thruway in my (then) Jeep Cherokee. Spun, went off the road, and ran over a milage marker. I was in a gully, in a snowbank so I put the Jeep in 4 wheel drive, put it in reverse and backed right out onto the road with no problem. It was -20 not including windchill, and it was very windy. There were several cars off the road there so I sat and waited for the State Police. They came, I gave the report, and told him I was going to go to work. He then said, have you looked at your car, I said no...he said your tire is off the rim, I said but I backed out of the ditch...he looked and smiled snd said "Omly in. Jeep". AAA came and changed the tire, And I was happy they did, I as dressed for work and it wad FREEZING outside.

There was a Jeep commercial at the time where the tg line was "Only in a Jeep"

I don't have a Jeep.
So I don't drive in the ditch.

You would if you hit black ice, coming onto the thruway, on an on ramp that was curved... also I now know, based on your statement, you have no idea what fun is.... and I no longer own a jeep.... Mrs Wu hated that Jeep

I drive more cautiously these days.
No longer a reckless kid in my 20s.
I hit black ice too. But driving at the
appropriate speed, I don't lose control.

I'm the driver that others
hate to be stuck behind.

That's why i mentioned it, too many AAs

That's why I've never been a big fan of acronyms. One could misunderstand and end up at the wrong meeting.

have you ever hit black ice on an outside curve. I wasn't reckless, I was going slow, I did not drive recklessly, the jeep just started sliding and I had no control... I was, at that point, just going along for the slide. I was going the appropriate speed... I was in my early 40s at the time.

I hope that I didn't temp fate with
my bragging about ditchlessness.
After all, **** happens.

to behonest I think I was, I was thinking about it, and I remembered thinking even in 4X4... guess I'm going skating today. That and I remember just dropping it into revers to back out.

ON black ice, 4wd means four independently spinning, sliding tires...

You forgot Who, Where and When

 

[Wu Wei]

yup... it also means even at idle, when you hit pavement without ice.... it goes straight...even though you are now a 90 degrees to the direction you should be going
