Small truck ebola ?

[planegray]

The last couple of days I've noticed a lot of small trucks taking naps on the side of the road, in ditches, and even up some hillsides.

Is there some sort of small truck sickness going around ?

Small pickups without a load spin up the rear tires easily, and if they don't have ABS tend to lock up the rear wheels and go anywhere when braked too hard.

That's what I was gonna say.

Back east we put weight over the rear wheels of any pickup truck come winter time.

Do they still make cars without abs?

Yea, trucks have shitty traction unless they're 4wd

Apropos to nothing, when I lived in Big Sur and had lots of muddy roads, I owned three vehicles. A Dodge 4wd power wagon, a 47 Willys Jeep, and a VW squareback. Guess which one always made it home and which two would be found mired in mud.

Hint, in the winter I put a couple hundred pounds in the back of the VW.

When I was a teen my uncle taught me how to drive stick in old 4wd Toyota's out in dirt lots/back roads/offroad trails. First lesson was how to slide around in the mud doing figure 8's in the rain. So much fun! In VT Winters we always put a bunch of fire wood or sandbags in the back for traction.

The mud down there is weird and awful. Nto surprised the dub worked. I had friend that lived down there and we would take his beetle to get up the road or a motorcycle. I could do it in my truck but it was a hassle when it got wet enough.
