Official winter sucks thread...
 

Lets bring it all here. We know its going to happen. All the complaining about the weather, the drivers, each other, and everything in general as far as "complaints" lets stick here until winter is over (lets say May).
Me first.
1) Wasn't it 60 degrees last week? Now its a slip and slide on the way to work :(.
2) Wind sucks.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

3) Females go back to covering themselves up.
4) Snow & ice do not get along with tires that are so bald they're probably illegal.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

5.) Snow!! We need more!
6.) Time to start waxing my snowboard.


Err... Wrong thread. :)

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I hate having the sun out and no snow, Dammit, its too damn hot out. And i really wish they would put road salt out, i really miss that. MUAHAHAHAH

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

STFU.

7.) Tom

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

This morning, I was walking around to the back of my truck, which was in my slanted driveway, and I started sliding down to the street. There was nothing to grab to stop me, and I didn't feel like falling down, so I skated down to the curb and walked back up in the grass. It was kind of fun, but I'm sure it looked pretty wierd.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I had to pry my door open this morning and give my roommate a ride since he couldn't even get his key in the locks. Its supposed to warm up next week though so all this nonsense should be melting rather soon. Tom, how are housing prices out by you? I might want to move :)

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I left work this morning and I let my car run for a half an hour and that still wasn't enough for the mass amount of ice completely covering my car to melt. Useing those ice scrapers is like finger nails on a chalk board. I hate it!

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

People can't drive for shit!

Other than that I have hopes to get out and play a bit more this winter. In the Jeep and try snow boarding.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Had to pry my doors too. Driver side couldn't put the key in, had to open it from the passenger side. E brakes got stuck, but it was AWD so they broke loose rather quickly. Guess I dont do that anymore, its my first winter :mad: Went to an empty park parking lot, and did some cyclones that was cool. Took the RC car out, and did some drifting with that thing, a bitch to start in cold weather...

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

My drivers door doesn't like the cold now. Imagine it bouncing off when you try closing it. But of course no problem when I get the car heated up. Had some fun doing shitties in the parking lot a block from my house though. "Gotta test the weather conditions you know."

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Parked the Colt in the driveway this morning, pulled up the ebrake and took my foot off the brakes and the damn thing slid back down the driveway. It was hot.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

LMAO!
8)Opening the garage door sucks! What a sweet way to drop the shop temperature 30 degrees instantly.
Time to make exhaust vent tubes. Yay, this weekend's project.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

This global warming stuff needs to hurry up, so it can be 70 and sunny all winter long. And then all those nice poele living in the dessert can burn like no tomorrow.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Oh I like this, not so much the cold, but I wish we got dumped on. Time to break out the snowmobile and skiis!

Driving with winter beater audi is always fun!

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Shit, that is hot! I E-braked a few corners in the Contour and also right into my driveway today. Good to see my FWD-drifting skills are still top-notch ;)

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I gotta get used to FWD...and I drive like a grandma while driving my grandma's buick as my winter car. That thing makes ya feel like you're riding in a marshmellow. And it handles like ass. I seriously have to slow down for most corners and its hard to get the damn thing over 65 mph.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

bald 2 front tires on awd sucks.
Late to new job because this is my first winter driving and didnt have a scraper or well anything else you need it took me about 10 minutes to get my door unlocked and open on the passenger side to climb over cause the driver side simply wasnt having it. Then I took the vacuum attachment to clean my windows and headlights. After work though lots n lots of drifting my god awd rocks.. So much easier to counter then a rwd in snow

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I can't wait for autostart and keyless! Damn glad I have that coming!

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

It sucks! came out from school today and my tire was completly flat. It sucks. Plus I have 3 BALD BALD tires and one with like 5% tread left. Once the beaches close the HOTT girls go into hibernation for the winter.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I hear ya, I just got done emptying 6 aerosol cans on the front step. :D

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

It's my first time in snow in 3 years. Went to dust off the snow on my windshield at 5:30am, and i dusted it right into the wind and got a face full of snow. That stuff is frickin cold. I can't wait until Spring!

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Try 2 rear wheels that are bald. That sucks worse. But its fun going side ways whenever I hit the gas. I love the launching, people looking all weird cause all my wheels are spinning but not going anywhere then poof I'm gone leaving the little honduhs spinning in the snow. Ahh the looks are priceless.

BTW: I'm loving the snow. The cold sucks but the snow is cool!

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I tried to make the best of it! Here is a video of my first cookie! :D

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Ya ive been awd launching everywhere. Anypatch of snow clutch kick and woah!. I even AWD launched into the carwash (which i got free love having friends that work at gas stations) then got a pretty car wash.. Coming out of it sucked ass though because the wax and foam under my excuse of a spoiler was still there as well as the stuff around my license plate. So it froze and when I got home my gf made fun of me so I left it. Looks kinda like a giant frozen cum splat on the rear of my car. So thats a reason winter sucks.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

At home
I still have to put holiday lights up on the outside of the house.
I still need to change the oil in the snow blower.
I still need to buy some salt.
At work
I hate working under customer cars in the winter.
I hate pushing in frozen cars that wont start.
I hate frozen leather seats.
I do like the snowball fights at work.
But it is Minnesota and I do look forward to playing in the snow with my son.
And I like doing other winter things like snowmobiling, skiing, ice fishing, and going back home to a hot cup of coco.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Ahh! Tossed on my Burton Vest and my Jacket, made the jaunt across my back yard and stepped into a nice warm garage. :) Let 2G warm up for a minute, and out into the cold I went. Lovin the new house!

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Wait til tomorrow morning when you try opening that freshly washed car:D


The snow doesnt bother me one bit, it is the blistering wind that sucks. Also, it has been busy as hell at work because everyone waits til the first snow to realize they need new tires.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

winter sucks because: my VW that i daily drive had a belt fly off today, and wouldn't you know it, it's not a regluar item, because the car doesn't have A/C or power steering. so, it starts getting hot and i spent half the day freezing my ass off going back and forth from napa and bumper to bumper just to get a belt that fits. and when i did, it squeels so damn loud i can't hear myself think.

so, i guess it's the wrong width or something, because it's the perfect length. that or the flimsy VW alternator adjustment arm is bent enough so the alt pulley rubs the belt.

what a pile of crap. with my quest, i know how to fix every problem it gets, even if i have to wait a while. the VW has retarded problems. then again, it's not stock, yet all the components are.

i'm cold and bitter. bitterly cold. same as outside.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Wow...that was awesome.
I've always been too afraid to try this kinda stuff on my 2g.
now that seems awesome, any tips?

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I agree. They all choose to come at the same time too, when we're about to close..haha. People batteries were dying left and right. I dont have a work jacket so going out to drive cars in was FRICKEN COLD!!! Overall I love winter, especially the snow, I love the winter activities BUT I hate the wind. It just kills you. This will be my first winter without the Talon AND the AWD :(. But I gotta a Legacy AWD, so I'm not minding it...yet.
Anyone else waxing their boards? I'm excited.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Need to find my board, then find wax, then I should be in good shape.

9.) snow sucks cause while I was out enjoying the snow in a parking lot, the DSM broke already... not even 100 miles since I got it rollin again! typical DSM...

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Just crank the wheel and floor it! Just make sure you have plent of room, dont want to kit an island or light pull
:eek:

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

yeah, and a don't catch the tar hard, while your floored... did that yesterday, my tranny went KABOOM!!! and now i have a piece bigger than my fist of the case of my tranny thats punched out, right by the center diff...

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I went snow drifting all last night at my old high school parking lot. got some footage on the phoen but cant get it on here. Ill make a video when its a lil more powder. It was really rough in some spots but overall was fun as hell fully countered doing figure 8's and what not.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

After freezing ass this morning for two hours, I've decided this climate sucks very bad. My Official Question For Winter would be, WTF makes people live here year after year?

10) Regular windshield washer fluid freezes to the windshield to form one huge sheet of ice.
11) Driving down the highway looking through a windshield covered in one huge sheet of ice caused by frozen windshield washer fluid.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Your wipers must not be working or your pouring straight water in the tank... ;) I never have a problem with freezing wiper fluid because your wipers should clear it all of right away.

As for living here, its different when you grow up here, you just get used to it and I like the variety of weather we have here, snow is fun for me, but I dont know why other people still live here when most of them just complain.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I used to live in cali up till 3 years ago.. I asked my gf and friends that same question.

I like having snow available to me(im heavily into snowboarding) but to be honest you need to drive just as far from here to get to a "hill" as it took me to drive in cali to get to a "mountain". But there I didnt have to wake up to this everyday.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

:D You have to show me pics sometime. She must of hit hard. :eek:
