    Yup. I’m in Texas right now.

    Watched a pickup truck run a red light, or should I say “skated” a red light. Fucker was going 40 (5 under the speed limit, but it’s ice, fuck ICE) and tried to stop a car-length away from the light…

        It doesn’t really make a difference which wheels are driven seeing as the truck was braking, not accelerating. And having all of the weight in the front makes sense if the bed is actually used for hauling stuff.
