Now We Know: Why SUVs Have Four-Wheel Drive
(a letter originally sent to Car Talk)
Dear Click and Clack,
The obvious purpose of a huge, powerful, sport utility vehicle is to enable one person to commute to work, with no passengers, and tailgate small cars that are poking along the freeway at 75 miles an hour. For a long time, I have wondered why this function requires four-wheel drive. I think I have the answer. As an SUV rolls over the crushed carcass of a Toyota Tercel or Honda Civic sedan, the high-gloss enamel used on these vehicles presents an unsafe driving surface, jeopardizing the safety of the SUV driver. To help overcome his disadvantage, the SUV driver can slam that baby into four-wheel drive and pray that one wheel is on terra firma. Lobbyists no doubt prevent the outright ban of sedans but can't consumer advocates reduce the menace by pressing for the use of high-traction paint on small cars? What do you think?

I thought that the Mythbusters did this in the desert and it actually worked, they drove the car by remote.

I believe they did, but they had problems keeping the JATO attached to the vehicle....
