Official winter sucks thread...

niterydr · 11-16-2005

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.

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.

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

Err... Wrong 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.

**Kracka** · 11-16-2005

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

INTRIGUED · 11-16-2005

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!

AJ · 11-16-2005

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.

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

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...

TehMugZor · 11-16-2005

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."

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.

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.

LaunchHard · 11-16-2005

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.

A//// Guy · 11-16-2005

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!

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

sleepydsm · 11-16-2005

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.

BOVADDICT · 11-16-2005

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

AJ · 11-16-2005

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