This is the appropriate response. No matter how good you, your tires, or your transmission are, all it takes is one idiot losing control in the other lane. Just stay home on Darwin Awards night.

But, if you must go out, you don't need AWD unless you live on a hill that never gets plowed.

> if you have need to go out in bad weather and can't stay home until the roads are well cleared, AWD is nice to have.

That's the only reason I just bought AWD, because my wife is a dog sitter and if she can't get to someone's house, that means animals are going hungry/messing the floor.

Me personally, working a 9-5 in the Airport area, never had a need. If it truly is catastrophically bad out, I just stay home.

One of the things people don't consider with AWD is the need to rotate your tires because usually they need replaced all at once. One flat, that's 4 tires. Another added expense that makes it more a luxury feature IMO.

So this is 99% always a YES however this weekend from 8 pm tonight through Monday morning, service downtown will be disrupted and a shuttle will cross the gap, so. Kinda a headache if you’re asking about this particular weekend.

All other non construction times, yes.

There is also the cost of product. Suppliers like UNFI, Sysco, etc charge more per unit if it's not a sure deal like Giant Eagle or RiteAid, etc. And if it's a local product, customers don't want to admit food could cost that much (living wages, no pesticides, etc etc etc). Sorry, lot of etcs. I personally wish there was a Bryant St Market in every neighborhood, and/or dream of running my own- but I'm not made of money.

Please visit the original statement I said I'm interested in an anti-war movement

The US has been in 57 undeclared wars since WW2.

Moreover here is research whereby The US military has launched 469 foreign interventions. Including 251 since 1991 https://www.thepickaxe.xyz/single-post/469-wars

All these wars then lead to situations where members of Congress buy and sell Energy and War stocks after intelligence briefings. This occurs by both GOP and Democrats. This is an illegal and immoral act and also what is called "Insider Trading"

I grew up near Tyrone. You can get by with front wheel drive for sure. If you have a choice though, the AWD would be so nice. They’ll be doing lots of back road and high elevation interstate driving. Driving home on Xmas day this past year from Pittsburgh was pretty scary in my little front wheel drive coup. The Appalachian mountains were icy. But I made it 🤷‍♂️
