Re: Official winter sucks thread...

Winter car broke about a half hour after I started driving it. But it was just a battery problem. It's fixed. But, it now belongs to Stephan. So my car is dirty as shit because I'm going to be driving it. It's ok. I have a free car wash!

Had a little E-brake fun one night, and almost crashed my car. That was no good. Tried getting on an exit ramp but it just kept going straight. Basically I have to many issues driving in winter.

E-brakes are over rated! Get AWD.

Yea, 'performance tires' with a 2" drop that turns your car into a shovel don't work so well in winter. Stupid Honda...

I've been hoping for that since November started! We've had about an inch. It's all melted away by now. There's no snow in the forcast for about a week, so we're stuck with fake snow at the hills . Oh well...fake snow is better than no snow .
Still waiting for the snow...............just finished waxing my board. It's almost perfect. Still cant test it out yet....

Re: Official winter sucks thread...

13)Shop truck perfers sideways to going straight on most snowy roads. But thats fun .
Diesel torque > most other vehicles to drive on the snow.
Much more fun and safer than awd "cookies".

Re: Official winter sucks thread...

just don't hit a curb after you've stripped your apiller to bare metal, cause when you hit your head on that bolt up there, it slices your head open, not that I would know.....

Snow? What Snow? Oh wait I;m in Texas, with a chilly low of 51 degrees today. I'm from Colorado originally, but I'm getting used to this weather. Now if the ppl here only had car insurance....like 60% don't.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...

All the fools that can't get up the hill on the bald tires piss me off...........
At least be prepared.

All the idiots that go 5 mph on the highway, they piss me off........

The guys with snow covered all over their vehicles on the highway, piss me off....
5mph ain't going to blow away the snow..............
