Car Did Hit A 1 By 1 Ft Concrete Slab With Front Wheel Advise How To Check The Damage If Any .

Is it true that front-wheel drive cars are bad for snow, like if one wheel gets stuck in snow it won't come out?

Back in the dark ages when I was a kid, there was no internet, no smart phones, and no FWD cars. Well, almost no FWD cars. They we just being introduced to the US for mass consumption. In those days if you lived in an area that got regular snow fall in the winter you had to go to a junkyard and buy a couple of, (hopefully fairly straight) used wheels that would fit your car. Then you’d take your two extra wheels to a tire shop or corner full service gas station and purchase two studded snow tires and have them installed on the wheels. Then depending on what time of year it is, you’d either have your newly mounted studded snow tires installed on the rear drive axle of your car or thrown in the trunk so that you could store them in the garage until needed.I have friends who are 10 or so years older than me who tell stories of working endless hours at the corner service station in high school when the first snow storm of the season was being called for just switching the two back wheels on cars with the snow tires in the trunk.When the majority of the cars from the ‘60’s & ‘70’s (mostly tear drive) had rusted out and had been used up, they were replaced with front wheel drive cars in the ‘80’s & ‘90’s. I remember the first time I drove a FWD car on winter roads. I was amazed at how sure footed it was compared to all the rear drive vehicles I was used to driving!It is my opinion that FWD cars are one of many reasons why we don’t have the corner full service gas station anymore. FWD cars don’t need studded snow tires, so all that business went away. In fact, in most of the states where the use of studded snow tires was common back in the old days, it is now illegal to use them because they aren’t necessary for 99% of the vehicles on the road and they tear up the pavement.So in summary, no! FWD is not bad in snow. It’s the best thing to ever happen to winter driving in my opinion.Note: For everyone out there who loves to pick a part people’s answers, please don’t bother. For example: of course I know that Cords from the ‘30’s and Eldorados & Toronados from the ‘60’s & ‘70’s were FWD. It doesn’t matter. Of course 4WD is superior to FWD. It doesn’t matter. Including every minute detail in an answer is not nessasary or enjoyable to read in my humble opinion.

Is it pretty much a guarantee that, if you ride a motorcycle, you will eventually fall off and damage it/yourself in some way?

It all depends on what kind of motorcycle you want to ride and what is your attitude.If you like adrenaline, then sooner or later you will probably fall off. Also if you want to find out your motorcycles or your skill limits, then it’s likely you will fall off. The only question is how bad.I fell off many times on my motorcycles. I had about 10 small and larger bikes since age 12, and then suzuki RM250 and Suzuki Hayabusa and I was always pushing all bikes to the limit. But I was lucky, I only broke my leg (on Hayabusa) and had brain concussion (on Suzuki RM). But my brother and friends were not so lucky. My brother fell on his CBR900RR in the curve and hit one of concrete columns along the road. He damaged his leg to such extend that doctors proposed it’s amputation. Luckily some other doctors in other country managed to fix it somehow. However he will never be able to walk or run properly.My best friend had similar accident on his CBR, but instead he hit a truck going in the opposite way. He has heavy brain damage for life and is not able to function normally by himself anymore. Irony is I was admiring his riding skills, because he only had 1 motorcycle before (old Honda VFR) which he barely rode. He probably thought he already knew how to ride like a pro, but unfortunately he didn’t know his limits.2 of my friends died on motorcycles and some other friends had motorcycle accidents but not so bad.All these accidents happend(and are usually happening) to young people with supersport or sport/touring motorcycles. Common denominator here is that we’ve been pushing our motorcycles and riding skills to the limit, consciously or unconsciously.On the other hand I know people who rides motorcycles for decades and never had any serious accident. They ride choppers, or touring motorcycles or even sport motorcycles, and they enjoy different ride. When you look at their tires you know, they don’t like to push it hard.Still 2 weels are less safe than4 wheels and sometimes regardless of your attitude, someone else can get you in accident without your fault. But this is true for cars, motorcycles or bicycles.If you are not trying the limits and are watching matter on the road, and anticipate anything, there is no reason to have accidents.PS: Funny thing is that even after bad accidents and even bad injuries, people are still riding. Every not so bad accident is a great learning opportunity, instead of reason to quit if you love riding.
