Or if you are in the city of Boston during a snow emergency. Walking home last night I had to help push a car out of a snow drift that was up to it's hood. The front wheel drive vehicle was spinning on ice, all it needed was a big enough push to get onto asphault and it was set. Four wheel drive would have come in handy. :P
Or if you get bored in New Hampshire and end up taking a raised jeep into the salt marshes. Then procede to drink canned alcoholic beverages, while wearing cowboy hats and yelling 'yeehaw' out the window. Two four wheel drive trucks were needed to pull the jeep out of the mud when it finally got stuck (The first truck got stuck as well).
Yes, this has happened before. Thankfully, I was not involved. :D
