I keep seeing these commercials. These trucks go waltzing through the snow leaving tracks weaving left and right. The unusual thing is that when the wheels turn left, all 4 turn left. When they turn right, they all turn right, which creates some unusual tracks.

Many times I have thought about making vehicles like this. It might make parallel parking easier, or harder. As I think it over, it seems to me that control of such steering might be difficult. I would suspect it would need some practice, maybe a lot.

Still, I really like the idea. I find it very intriguing. It looks to me like a solution looking for a problem. And so it is, I started thinking about it, which irritates my wife.

None the less, I can’t think of anything I would use it for. I haven’t parallel parked in fifty years. Moreover, I am still wondering if it would help even in that.

It is why I wonder why. Perhaps, maybe, if there is someone out there that has one of these vehicles, can you please provide a comment telling me the last time you used it, other than when you tried it out. Just curious.
