Drive wheel

A drive wheel is a roadwheel in an automotive vehicle that receives torque from the powertrain, and provides the final driving force for a vehicle. In motor vehicles, "getting power to the ground" is most important because "traction caused by friction between the driven tires and road surface is what makes a car move."

A two-wheel drive vehicle has two driven wheels, and a four-wheel drive has four, and so-on.

A steer wheel is one that turns to change the direction of a vehicle. A trailer wheel is one that is neither a drive wheel, nor a steer wheel.

Drive wheel configurations

Two-wheel drive

For four-wheeled vehicles, this term is used to describe vehicles that are able to transmit torque to at most two roadwheels, referred to as either front- or rear-wheel drive. The term 4x2 is also used, to indicate four total road-wheels with two being driven.

For vehicles that have part-time four-wheel drive, the term "Two-wheel drive" refers to the mode when 4WD is deactivated and torque is applied to only two wheels.

Weakling

by: Travail

Boldness escapes me
Cowardice seems so easy
If only I could be more like the one I see
I've failed you I've lied to you
Yet you forgive and let me live
Oh God help my weakness
Oh give me your strength
Father help me
I'll go to any length
On my face, on my chest, on my knees
God help me please
My spirit is willing but my flesh is weak
I've got these beats raging through my head
And someday soon this body of mind will be dead
No more crying or laying on no death beds
No more tears or fists across my head
Only escape from hate and ill fate
Bringing me down
Making me look like some kind of clown
Receive my crown, lay it at Christ's feet
Only then do I get my DHD
My devil hating degree
My courage growing, the wicked I'm throwing
Disgust for hate ever showing
