[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 885981, member: 24302"] Back in '97 I was a domicile in a remote area of Colorado. Had a 4X4 Econoline that my mgr said only to drive in 4 wheel drive if the conditions warranted it. So I'm up at a ski lodge at 10,000 ft, temps in 40's, road clear with just a few patches of snow. I turn into the parking lot, come around a line of cars, and suddenly find myself on a sheet of ice on a slight slope. Because the temps would drop below freezing at night and this area of parking lot was in building's shadow the ice hadn't melted yet. The truck required getting out and locking hubs to be in 4X4 so couldn't just push a button. I could have crawled as fast as truck was moving but I couldn't stop it. Finally it bumped into a parked car which left a dent and about an inch long split in the car's skin. Because of a small dinger about 6 months before I was given a warning letter for having 2 accidents in a 12 month period. I protested it, and was told by regional V.P. because my truck was a 4X4 I should have been in 4 wheel drive to anticipate any possible problems. This in spite of my mgr telling me that being in 4X4 all the time tears the vehicle up faster so only be in it when absolutely necessary. And while I enjoyed the week of DIP training in Denver because of it, seemed ludicrous to spend that kind of money given the circumstances. [/QUOTE]
