Why is it...
...that people in 4x4 vehicles think that they can drive through ANYTHING?
There are 3 people in my parking lot right now stuck, the parking lot was plowed early this morning so needless to say there's at least a foot of snow AND ice underneath....
Not to mention one is danger close to the GTA trying to get up the hill. 
I'm about to go out there with a hockey stick and beat him with it if he gets any closer.
It should be legal to kill stupid people.

Not to mention how many people in 4x4s have regular passenger car tires on them.

Regardless if you can move you still need to stop and 4wd isn't going to help there

It's because most 4wd vehicles have crappy street tires and they are really 2 wd with 1 front wheel and 1 rear wheel engaged. Without a locker or limited slip, most 4wd vehicles are severely handicapped and most people have no idea. I was explaining this to somebody at work and the look on his face was priceless. He has a fwd car and does better in the snow than most 4wd but he had no idea why they are as bad as they are.
Oh yeah, lots of people are stupid with no common sense as well.

I been driving my mother's Toyota 4Runner and that things is an animal in the snow. I drove it out of an un-plowed parking lot with over 2 feet of snow and not one bit of wheel spin. Contrary to belief 4wd does stop better in the snow. 2wd vehicles tend to lock up 2 wheels in the snow, usually the front wheels first. Its harder to only lock up the front tire with 4wd engaged.

Very true, especially if your t-case has no viscous coupling.

Caddy did just fine. I drove during the "storm" and after the plows re-dirtied my driveway. In either case Caddy won.
