As well as the old exhaust pushing the car thing, I used to believe that front wheel drive meant the front wheels turned, rear wheel drive the rear wheels would turn and four wheel drive meant all four wheels would turn. Valuable years of my life were wasted, that I shall never get back, trying to figure out how this worked.
