Driving your DSM in the winter

[Jakey]

My laser will be staying parked except for maybe having some AWD fun in our pasture since I want to keep it away from anything which could expose it to salt(gravel road right in front of my house). Plus I only carry liability on my laser so the last thing I need is to get hit by some uninsured idiot that can't drive in the winter. I have a 4WD truck to get me through the shitty roads when needed.

Drive it, I was surprised how much snow they can go through.

I don't know how anyone can complain about the roads here as far as getting stuck unless you go out at 3 in the morning during a blizzard when the trucks haven't plowed, or if you live out in the boonies where they don't plow.

I have a lowered honda with terrible all-season "performance" tires on it, and I haven't gotten stuck in the 3 winters I have driven it.

I used to go to work at 3AM to plow every time it snowed.

Wax it before it snows.

How many acres is the pasture? Sounds like some DSM snow races to me.

25 acres of CRP right next to my house + 75 acres of pasture :D

Wow, that sounds like a blast. I wonder if I can find some mud/snow tires small enough to fit my car. :D

Mine has been driven in the winter since new and there is no rust on it. Even after all the rallying.

When Terina and I were living at my mother's house, she was driving her 94 Olds Cutlass Supreme FWD and I was driving my AWD. My mother's driveway is steep and short. She got halfway up and started slipping so she stopped. I pulled in next to her and stopped, winked at her and then continued driving up the driveway. She was pissed!!! I just laughed. That was about the time she decided she wanted to get an AWD. I say drive the sucker in what it was meant to be driven in.

You'll have to come out with us to a winter rallycross. They are a blast. Just ask Allan D. and Brian B. I wish Allan would get those rally cross videos back up on the site. I miss those.
